SUMMARY:Flora: An Intimate Celebration | Photo Exhibit
DESCRIPTION:Noah Webster House & West Hartford Historical Society To Exhibit Works by Local Artist Jose Gaztambide  \n  \nThe Noah Webster House & West Hartford Historical Society is delighted to present an exhibit featuring the photography of local artist Jose Gaztambide. Flora: An Intimate Celebration will launch at the Noah Webster House on May 1\, 2025. The exhibit showcases unique photographs that focus on the finer details found in nature. \n  \nJose Gaztambide is a West Hartford artist who developed an interest in photography in the late 1960s. After studying in New York at The New School\, Gaztambide returned to Puerto Rico in 1980 to teach Photography and Theory of Communication at the University of Puerto Rico (Rio Piedras campus)\, where he taught until 1997. In 1988\, he returned to school to get his PhD in Communication. \nGaztambide’s creative passion was reignited upon his discovery of digital cell phone photography\, which allowed him to be more creative and spontaneous with his photographs. Now\, Gaztambide takes inspiration from the natural world. He explains\, “Nature has its own rhythms and rules and demands respect and care. The more I learned\, the hungrier I was for more of her beauty.” When Gaztambide concentrated this focus\, his photographs began to represent his mission to further celebrate and understand nature. \nFlora: An Intimate Celebration invites viewers to pay attention to nature’s finer details.  Gaztambide’s photographs celebrate nature’s emerging forms\, colors\, and textures that are often overlooked.  Enjoy his humble celebration! \nJoin us for an Opening Reception of this exhibit at the Noah Webster House & West Hartford Historical Society on Thursday\, May 1 from 5:00pm-7:00pm. This exhibit will remain at the museum and can be seen by visitors through Monday\, June 30th.
