Miami University Art Museum Docents (volunteer guides/teachers) are folks who love art and meet regularly to learn more and share their knowledge and passion with others of all ages.
HOXIE – Three Generations of Photography represents three generations of Hoxies as photographers and artists. George Richmond Hoxie (1907-1984) opened his studio in the late 40s and become a well-known Oxford and Miami portrait photographer and artist, submitting his artwork worldwide and gaining significant recognition. This selection of original photographs covers his many years, styles and themes — all in black and white.
Beth Dornan Hoxie became an artist-photographer in 1977 after marrying George’s son, Monty. Her photographs represent her love of black and white including themes from travel, botanicals, and landscapes. She is also including several color prints of her more recent work.
Alex Hoxie, grandson, and son, is a Detroit- based photographer and cinematographer. His work represents his love of portraiture and cityscapes, some with creative digital applications.
This exhibition runs March 9 through April 6 and will be the featured art at OCAC’s The Art of Black and White Gala.
