“History Re-Imaged” is a collection of photomontages that are composed of vintage photographs created by Alan M. Richards. These photomontages are a compilation of images that have been collected from various sources, including images with personal and emotional connection to the artist, along with derived images from the 1940s.
Richards invites viewers to interpret these images and create their own story based on the serious, bizarre, surreal, and humorous qualities of these photomontages. “I invite the viewer of each re-imaged picture to make up his or her own story,” he says.
The exhibit may be viewed during regular library hours.
