Through November and December 2019, 118 Gallery is exhibiting the work of Richard W. Brown, a photographer from the Northeast Kingdom documenting the vanishing culture of Vermont’s hill farms.
Brown’s 2018 book, The Last of the Hill Farms: Echoes of Vermont’s Past, collects black and white photographs of farm life in the Northeast Kingdom, taken 40 years ago with a 8×10 view camera.
Senator Patrick Leahy has called Brown’s photographs “unforgettable,” and Maxine Kumin of the New York Times Book Review says Brown is her “favorite upcountry artist with a camera.”
Brown’s work has won numerous awards and a Vermont Endowment for the Arts Grant. During his 45-year career, his work has appeared in leading American magazines and corporate advertising campaigns, and over 25 books of his photographs have been published in the U.S., Europe and Japan.
