Before the 12:00 noon opening on January 5, there will be a very brief member meeting followed by a gallery talk by Lance Hidy. Lance Hidy is a graphic designer and illustrator, who designed Adams last and best selling book. A brief biography:
Born in LaGrande, Oregon, Lance Hidy studied art and graphic design at Yale University in New Haven, Connecticut before starting his own graphic arts studio. After working with photographers Ansel Adams and Arnold Newman in the 1970s, he developed a highly distinctive silk screen style which distills his photographs of people to vividly-colored, flat, hard-edged shapes. This style has been used for the design of three U.S. postage stamps, and on more than forty posters for clients including the Boston Symphony Orchestra, Beardsley's Restaurant (of blessed memory), Acme Bookbinding, and Meriden Gravure / Stinehour Press. Hidy also designed the Penumbra typeface for Adobe Systems. He teaches digital graphic arts at Northern Essex Community College in Haverhill, Massachusetts and lives in nearby Newburyport.
More information can be found on his website: http://www.lancehidy.com
