In a self-selected exhibition of photographs opening Saturday, Oct. 4, in the
Hexagon Gallery, Thomas T. Solley shares images that span
the time period 1939-2002, and global space from New York
City and its World’s Fair to Paris, China and Venezuela.
One Man’s Vision: Photographs by Thomas T. Solley
features photographs, or more specifically, digitized
images made from slides and printed with an Epson printer,
that reflect an interest in the quality of light and form
with a meticulous attention to detail. Nothing is left
to chance, except, perhaps, the moment itself.
After working as an architect, Solley was recruited by
Henry Hope, who was then director of the IU Art Museum,
to begin graduate studies in art history at IU in 1964.
In 1968, he became assistant director of the museum and
three years later was named director. Under his leadership,
the museum’s core collection of 4,000 objects grew
to a wide-ranging collection of more than 30,000 works
of art. He spearheaded and oversaw the museum’s
move from the Fine Arts Building to the facility designed
by I.M. Pei & Partners. Solley retired as director
in 1986. |
