​Every few years a photographer emerges on the world stage with a unique voice and vision that immediately sets their work apart from anyone else. Cartier Bresson, Richard Avedon, Irving Penn, Annie Leibovitz, …. each has a style and approach that defines their era and distinguishes them from other talented but more predictable image makers. Rodney Smith’s extraordinary photographs are destined to join the ranks of these masters. ​

Alongside this exhibition, Edward Hopper House is pleased to present intimate glimpses of Hopper’s life captured in photos from the Sanborn-Hopper Family Archive. This exhibition is on view all winter as we celebrate the powerful art of photography.

Thanks to our sponsors for their support of this exhibition:

JohN MORTON: PLace of Origin

September 6, 2019 – March 8, 2020
Members Opening & Reception: Thursday, September 5, 6:30-8:30 PM2019

Place of Origin weaves together the diverse cultural fabric of Rockland County with a unique and creative approach to listening, interacting, and responding to personal oral histories. Composer and sound artist John Morton gathered stories from the residents of Rockland County towns responding to the question "Where did you grow up?" This idea encompasses the notion that everyone grows up "somewhere" and that those stories can be shared and enriched by the musical and creative use of sound.
