The Robert Lehman Art Center Presents: A Retrospective: Looking From Past to Present, featuring the work of photographer Tony Decaneas
NORTH ANDOVER – The Robert Lehman Art Center at Brooks
School is pleased to announce its latest exhibit, A Retrospective: Looking from Past to Present featuring the works
of photographer Tony Decaneas. The show, which opens Thursday, Feb. 13, runs
through March 10 and features both recent projects and photographs from
Decaneas’ publications.
Decaneas started Panopticon
Gallery in 1970. The company, now called Decaneas Archive, began as a high
quality, black-and-white custom lab. It reflected Decaneas’ own photographic
interests: humanistic documentary photography as well as lyrical and narrative
landscapes. Decaneas is the author of Bradford
Washburn: Mountain Photography, and he has published collections of
photographs by Ernest C. Withers. He has also published the book Pavlia, Portrait of a Greek Village, a
collection of photographs of his father’s village.

“His exhibition shows the evolution of a photographer,”
said English teacher and longtime friend of Decaneas, Mark Shovan. “How did he
start out, and now that he’s 60-something, what does he see now?”
