> Scope and Content | Scope and contents of the collection Arthur Mange's collection of photographs consists of 339 images taken from 1965 to 2010. His subjects vary widely, from scenes around New England and New York City to scenes captured more locally from Amherst and Hadley to New Salem. Common themes include studies of nature, buildings, patterns, whimsical signs, attention-grabbing shadows, and gravestones. Mange has used a number of single-lens reflex cameras over the years and 35-mm black and white film on multi-grade luster-surface RC papers, with hardly any alterations except cropping and burning some unwanted highlighted areas. As of 2011, Mange has approximately 35,000 35-mm negatives of his work; from these he has printed around 2,500. |
