Throughout his nearly seventy-year career, Brett Weston (1911-1993) was obsessed with abstracted micro-images of reality as well as of cities and landscapes that, having been taken with a long telephoto lens, were flattened and appear virtually without depth. He often combined groups of photographs in portfolios and although only a few portfolios were actually labeled "Abstractions," they all share Brett Weston's signature abstract and flattened style. The works in this exhibition, drawn from the 50 photographs that span his long career, were donated to the Bruce Museum in 2015.

An antique silhouette exhibit featuring silhouettes from the 1700s and 1800s has recently opened in the Townhouse at The New Canaan Historical Society and continues through February 3rd. The silhouette is a profile cut from white or black paper. In the 18th century, it was a simple alternative for people who could not afford other forms of portraiture. Silhouettes were named after Etienne de Silhouette, a French government official who in 1759 imposed such harsh economic demands that his name became synonymous with anything done very cheaply. The quick outlines, created at virtually no cost, come to be known as portraits a la Silhouette. The New Canaan Historical Society is open Tuesday through Friday, 9:30 a.m. -- 4:30 p.m., and Saturday 9:30 a.m. – 12:30 p.m.
