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.
