Madeleine De Sinety: Photographs November 4, 2011

During the past 40 years, photographer Madeleine de Sinety has worked on several continents, quietly documenting the everyday lives and public events of those who reside in obscure rural corners of the world. This selection of 60 black-and-white and color images will be the first to explore the breadth of de Sinety's photographic essays, from her multi-year exploration of traditional French farm families in a small region of Brittany, to village life in Uganda, and finally to the work of a single logger in northern Maine who still uses draft horses to pull this precious natural resource from the woods. On the lighter side of life in Maine, de Sinety has also documented the famed photographer and conceptual artist William Wegman, at work in Rangeley making large Polaroid portraits of his dogs.
