Follow on Google News | The Gargoyles of Yale University with Photographer and Author Mathew DumanIn this presentation, photographer and author Mathew Duman will discuss his book An Education in the Grotesque: the Gargoyles of Yale University. At the Oliver Wolcott Library on Tuesday, February 24, 2015 from 7:00- 8:00 p.m.
Duman began photographing the decoration on Yale’s buildings as a hobby and ended up discovering many gargoyles around the campus that he had never seen before. He particularly enjoyed the sense of humor and irony with which they are imbued. Soon he had hundreds of photos. In order to understand more about them, he began to research Yale’s history and traditions. Mathew Duman is a photographer and graphic designer who grew up in Bethany, Connecticut. While studying abroad, he developed a fascination with the grotesque sculptures of the cathedrals of Britain. In addition to England, Matt has made photographic trips to Italy, Africa, Australia and New Zealand. A wine and cheese reception will follow the event. The author will provide books for signing and for purchase. All Oliver Wolcott Library events are free and open to the public. Space is limited. Registration is required and can be done by calling 860-567-8030 or logging onto www.owlibrary.org and clicking on Programs/Adult Programs. End
