Nostalgia rolls into Helen Bumpus Gallery next month when “The Art of the Automobile” arrives for a two-month visit.
“Cars are a catalyst for people’s earliest memories,” says award-winning photographer Steven Edson, whose September-October exhibition oHers visitors a modern look at a wide-ranging collection of automobiles.
The show includes photos of a 1935 Studebaker Commander, 1950 Pontiac Chieftain and 1957 Chevrolet Delray, along with dozens of makes and styles from the year in between and beyond.
By highlighting intricate details of metal and chrome in diHerent light and atmospheric conditions, Edson used his camera to celebrate the abstract beauty of car design, both old and new.
Helen Bumpus Gallery is located on Duxbury Free Library’s main floor, opposite the circulation desk. Admission is always free. For a sneak peek of “The Art of the Automobile,” visit helenbumpusgallery.com
