Yesterday was the 130th anniversary of the founding of The National Geographic Society. Last night, we attended a reception they held at their Fine Art Gallery in the Shops at Wailea, here in Maui. Most of the images were printed at a size of one meter or larger. The selection and quality of the images is unsurpassed.
http://natgeofineart.com/ Most of the images, even quite recent ones, were taken on film. Nat Geo is establishing these galleries at various locations to raise funds for the organization. I certainly wish them all the best. The images they disply are to my taste suerior to almost everything in the many art galleries located in Wailea, Lahina and Makawao here in maui, or, for that matter, in most modern art museums. Check to see if ther is a gallery near you. You will enjoy the experience. Last fall, I attended a Dartmouth program about China held in the Franklin Institute in Philadelphia. The had a nice selection there of moderately sized prints of Nat Geo images, but nothing to compare to the Fine Art Gallery.
