Offered by: epoca

Description
Six Provincetown photographs, each titled and signed in pencil on the matting; "One of Provincetown’s most colorful and creative artists was photographer John W. Gregory. Born in New York City, he grew up as the son of the city editor for the New York Tribune. After studying with John Sloane at the Art Students League in New York, he took up photography during World War II in Provincetown. His photographs were published by Time Magazine, the New York Times and the Associated Press. Seven of his photographs are included in the Smithsonian’s permanent collection. His photos capture the stark beauty of the Outer Cape from the haunting limbs of dead tree branches in the sand to “old salts” conversing as their boats sit behind them in the harbor."
