Art Gallery of Ontario exhibition: “Where I was born…” : A Photograph, a Clue, and the Discovery of Abel Boulineau
On now at the Art Gallery of Ontario, is an excellent show about the work of a recently discovered photographer, Abel Boulineau, whose images conjure up romantic scenes of the French countryside around the turn of the twentieth century. While highlighting these poetic glimpses into French rural life, the exhibition also discusses the behind the scenes research that took place at the AGO by Vanessa Fleet that revealed the true author of this extensive body of work. I was fortunate to have been working at the AGO while Vanessa was unravelling the mystery of Boulineau and am excited to see the results of her hard work revealed to the public.
