2. Stockbridge Library Museum and Archives presents Artist of the Month Lionel Delevingne. August 2024, Signs from the not so-distant Past by Lionel Delevingne.
Opening reception on Tuesday August 6, 2024, 5pm to 7 pm
Delevingne, a resident of Stockbridge, is a French-born photographer and author whose work has taken him all over the world. His works have been published in the New York Times, Mother Jones, Figaro magazine, Die Zeit, and more.
His photographs have been collected and exhibited widely at home and abroad. In a significant milestone, in June 2024 the University of Massachusetts at Amherst’s Dubois Library’s Special Collections recently acquired all of Delevingne’s work for its archives. This recognition by a prestigious institution further highlights the enduring impact and value of Delevingne’s artistic contributions.
Earlier Delevingne’s work captured the 1976 bicentennial and on to the 1980’s Reagan years, where he found elements of concern in the expression of patriotism. Some of these images, while innocent to most seem to recall the ghosts of old Europe.
All images shown here are excerpts out of “Glory, Glory” a well-reviewed exhibit in the US and Europe. More of his work can be seen locally in Owen’s Stockbridge Updates.’ All 16×20 prints are archival Silver gelatin. For further details and pricing, please email lionel@delevingne.com or go to www.lioneldevelingne.com
Stockbridge Updates is so pleased that Lionel is a regular contributor and more than that he started a series of portraits of Stockbridge folks. We are taking a summer hiatus but will resume this fall. Contact SU or Lionel if you have suggestions for whom Lionel should photograph.
