Ski and Snow Vintage Photographs

(PRWEB) January 23, 2012

Duncan Miller Gallery proudly presents vintage photographs from the Ray Atkeson estate. The exhibition will be on display through February 25. This is the first presentation of Atkeson’s rare vintage winterscape photographs in over 40 years.

Ray Atkeson (1907-1990) began photographing the Northwestern U.S. landscape in the 1930s. He became especially well-known for his stunning black & white images of the ski and snow country in the Western states. The early, romantic days of skiing in the West – the 1930-1950s – were a time of glamour and great excitement. Hollywood movie stars in the latest snow fashions shared chair lifts with the originators of “extreme” skiing. Skiers zoomed down the mountains with primitive equipment, relying on enthusiasm and their own brand of skill to take them successfully to the bottom.

Atkeson’s photographs appear alongside his peers Ansel Adams, Edward Weston, Dorothea Lange, Henri Cartier-Bresson, Richard Avedon, Lillian Bassman, Eliot Porter and others in several collections, including Ansel Adam’s This is the American Earth (1960), U.S. Camera’s The Best of 1957 and John Steinbeck’s America and Americans (1960).

A prolific photographer and printer, Atkeson documented these early times with a heavy, large-format 4×5 camera and photographed a rich variety of winter mountain scenery and activity. Many of his alpine photos were taken before the chairlift was invented and required ski stamina and enduring prolonged exposure to harsh winter elements.

“These photos are, at first glance, very high-quality winter landscapes. But what fascinates me is his ability to pull me into the moment, to draw me as the viewer into the scene,” said gallerist Daniel Miller. Atkeson would frequently use a mechanical timer on his large-format camera. This allowed him to ski into, and become a part of, his composition.

”One photo of an ice cave in Mount Rainier is a technical triumph” was written in the 1971 New York Times review of his photography book The Pacific Coast. In 1990, the New York Times wrote that Atkeson was “Considered the dean of Northwest nature photography.”

His published works include nine books, including Ski and Snow Country: The Golden Years of Skiing in the West, 1930s-1950s with text by skiing legend Warren Miller. Atkeson’s work appeared in National Geographic, Time, Readers Digest, Life, Saturday Evening Post and Popular Photography. His image is on the cover of Sports Illustrated, Nov 23, 1957. Atkeson was named Photographer Laureate of Oregon in 1976, his works are in several public institutions.

Duncan Miller Gallery specializes in collectable photographs. The gallery is located in the heart of West Los Angeles at 10959 Venice Blvd, Los Angeles, CA 90034. Gallery hours are Thursday-Saturday, 11-6 pm.

World-Wide-Art.com Now Carrying ‘Alice’ by Morgan Weistling

San Francisco Bay Area, CA (PRWEB) December 02, 2011

World Wide Art, Inc., a renowned art gallery and custom conservation framing company, has announced that “Alice” by artist Morgan Weistling is now available at its shop.

The oil painting, which depicts a young, mischievous looking girl clutching a small white rabbit in her arms as she gazes out at the viewer, features deep pinks and glowing highlights that create somewhat of a dreamlike quality. Weistling’s gentle brushstrokes achieve a host of subtle nuances and color harmonies that result in an intense depth in “Alice.”

“We are very happy to carry this truly wonderful piece, as I think it really displays the imagination of a child,” said David Wilfong, spokesperson for World-Wide-Art.com. “Weistling is known for his mesmerizing oil paintings and his use of color, and ‘Alice’ is definitely one of those memorable pieces.”

Before he was even two, Morgan Weistling was experimenting with art, learning to draw from the lap of his father, who was a comic artist. His youthful imagination brought his art to life by weaving narrative stories into the things he drew. Weistling got his big break into the world of professional art at a young age, landing a gig with the top movie poster agency in Hollywood at the age of 19. His clients included Universal/Amblin Entertainment, Disney, MGM, Paramount, 20th Century Fox, Warner Brothers, Columbia Pictures and TriStar, and his works were used to promote the stories of dozens of feature films.

Weistling has since shifted the focus of his career to fine art, and his success in this space has been equally impressive. The artist is inspired by the ordinary scenes around him and brings his subjects to life with the attention to detail of a skilled movie director. As he did in his paintings as a child and at the movie poster company, he incorporates a story in each of his paintings, treating art as his method of communication.

“Alice” speaks to the imagination and fun spirit of children and their pets, something that everyone has known and witnessed for themselves. The power of this timeless message has been reflected by the publics reaction to this painting, as “Alice” was a featured work at the 2011 Jackson Hole Art Auction, selling for over $ 86,000. This by far exceeded the estimated sale price.

“‘Alice’ perfectly bridges the divide between modern art and classic oil painting,” said Wilfong. “The simplicity of the subject coupled with the complexity of Weistlings technique makes this work a joy to behold.”

In addition to Weistlings “Alice” painting, World-Wide-Art.com offers countless other new releases, limited editions and honored collections by today’s top artists. For more information, please visit http://www.world-wide-art.com.

Susquehanna Health Ahead of the Curve with Breast Density Cancer Screenings

Williamsport, PA (PRWEB) December 02, 2011

Research published recently in the Journal of Clinical Oncology (JCO) and the Journal of the National Cancer Institute (JNCI) identifies breast density as being associated with an increased risk of breast cancer in post-menopausal women. These types of cancers are also noted to be more aggressive. Although reported findings are new, physicians at Susquehanna Health (SH) have been acting on this principle for nearly a decade. Based on data and our experience, we instigated a screening process using whole breast ultrasound about seven years ago. So, we are way ahead of the curve, said Dr. Timothy Pagana, Medical Director of the SH Kathryn Candor Lundy Breast Health Center. We have been very impressed by a marked increase in breast cancer detection in women who have had normal mammograms.

Recently, Dr. Pagana has been educating women in the north central Pennsylvania region about breast density, the increased risk for breast cancer and whole breast ultrasound and in October was a keynote speaker for the SH Spirit of Women program in Williamsport, PA. Breast density refers to proportions of glands, ducts and fatty tissue in the breast. Density is divided into four categories: 1) entirely fat (very little density); 2) scattered fibro glandular densities (minimal density); 3) heterogeneously dense (moderate density); and 4) extremely dense.

According to Dr. Pagana, glands and ducts that cause density will appear as white on a mammogram. In contrast, the fat content of a breast appears dark on a mammogram. As a women reaches menopause, the breasts should go through a process referred to as involution in which glands and ducts are replaced by fatty tissue. The risk factor for women who are post-menopausal with extremely dense breast tissue is four times higher than the general population for developing cancer, according to Dr. Pagana.

Breast density creates an obstacle for accurately identifying cancer with a traditional examination and mammography and is a warning sign for increased cancer risk in post-menopausal women. If breast tissue doesnt diminish [with menopause], there is something else going on that is causing the glandular tissue to continue and the breast tissue to appear dense, Dr. Pagana explained. As a result of the density, the chance of finding cancer using traditional mammography is reduced while the risk of cancer is increased. In comparison, when fatty tissue replaces glands and ducts as expected and breast tissue becomes less dense, traditional mammograms are easier to read. Our concern is for those women for whom involution doesnt occur, said Dr. Pagana.

Whole breast ultrasound is helpful in identifying breast abnormalities because the ultrasound waves are capable of pinpointing smaller cancers even in very dense breast tissue. The addition of this type of ultrasound testing for women with dense breast tissue increases the chance that even small breast cancers are identified, treated and cured. Whole breast ultrasound is the best way to go because it provides adequate sensitivity and specificity. It is the least aggressive and most cost effective way to screen for breast cancer, explained Dr. Pagana.

Ultrasound technologists at the Kathryn Candor Lundy Breast Health Center are experienced and dedicated to the art and science of reading whole breast ultrasounds. Although MRI may be more sensitive, it is less specific, according to Dr. Pagana. Furthermore, MRI is more costly. The Breast Health Center is in the process of purchasing a state-of-the-art whole breast ultrasound machine capable of scanning breast tissue micrometer by micrometer, collecting and compiling data and producing a movie-like scan of images.

In general, women over the age of 40 are encouraged to have an annual mammogram. Following a mammogram, a patient should be provided the result of their mammogram and informed about the density of their breast tissue. If density is not mentioned in the report, the patient should ask that the mammogram be re-read to provide an accurate assessment of breast density. When breast density is determined to be moderately (50 to 75 percent) or extremely dense (75 to 100 percent), whole breast ultrasound at an experienced center should be recommended.

Additional imaging is also recommended for women who are considered high risk due to such things as family history of breast cancer, use of hormone therapy, a BRCA genetic mutation or premalignant tissue changes on a prior breast biopsy.
