ABOUT THE ARTIST
Alan Strassman is a fine art photographer. His work
has been exhibited in many venues around New England
and is owned in private and corporate collections.
Like renowned photographer William Eggleston, Alan was
born in 1939 and, like Eggleston, he took his first photographs
with a Brownie Hawkeye ten years later. A serious amateur
for most of the past six decades, it is only in the past several
years that he has exhibited and sold his work. Recent exhibition
venues include group shows at the Attleboro Museum,
Brush Gallery, Pawtucket Arts Collaborative, Cambridge Art Association,
and a one-person show at the Weston Library. His publications include
Signs of Life, a brief illustrated history of photography and
New England Mill Towns, contemporary images from the birth place
of the industrial revolution in America.
Alan has studied art history, drawing, sculpture, ceramics and photography
at Princeton, Westchester Art Workshop, School of the Museum of Fine Arts,
Boston [SMFA], the Maine Media Workshops, Griffin Museum and the
Photographic Resource Center [PRC] at Boston University. He is also a
graduate of the Harvard Business School, President Emeritus of the
Museum of Fine Arts, Boston and Chairman Emeritus of the School
of the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston.
