Arthur Dow’s cyanotype of the Ipswich, Mass. river curtesy of ‘The Local News (Ipswich)
Toronto. There are a number of 1800s photographic print processes. One is obvious even to the uninitiated. Cyanotypes can be recognized by their tell-tale blue shades. A more modern equivalent is last century’s ‘blue prints’ offering electrical, architectural, etc. data for the many workers on a project. Blue prints are also easy to spot with their white lines on a blue background.
My good friend George Dunbar writes, “For anyone interested in American art, especially cyanotypes … Three cyanotypes are displayed in this art review by my writer friend, Bob Waite.” With this message is a column in Massachusetts area’s ‘The Local News‘ by Bob Waite called, “ARTHUR WESLEY DOW WOWS THEM IN ST. PETE“.
Read the column ands learn more about the late Art Dow of Ipswich and his work as an artist, and photographer, etc.
