Gibraltar Historical Association presents Love of the Land: Historical Photographs by Ferdinand Hotz
The Gibraltar Historical Association presents an exhibit of Door County historical photographs from their collection of Ferdinand Hotz photographs. These exceptional images of Door County towns and landscapes from the early 1900s have never before been exhibited. Throughout most of his life, Hotz was an avid photographer, and while he took hundreds of photographs on his business travels around the country and Europe, he focused on the natural beauty of Door County and its small towns. The exhibit, “Love of the Land: Historical Photographs by Ferdinand Hotz” features fine examples of Pictorialism, an aesthetic movement in the history of photography that established photography as a fine art. Each of Hotz’s prints is a carefully crafted work of art, characterized by soft-focus images, watercolor washes and his aesthetic sensibilities. It is anticipated that this exhibit will appeal to those visitors with a wide range of interests, especially the history of Door County, land conservation and vintage photography.
