Anonymous photography has a magical and mysteriou s quality. The nineteenth and twentieth century images assembled here by c ollector and curator Robert Flynn Johnson are by turn poignant\, humorous\ , erotic\, and disturbing. Their subject is the human condition. Although the artists are unknown\, the photographs could be made by anyone who has ever used a camera.\nJohnson’s search for vernacular photographs led him to discover another form of memory-gathering and he began collecting hand -made quilts. He found the same mystery and poignant humanity in quilts\, pieced together from family clothing and fabrics.\nRecently retired as cur ator in charge of the Achenbach Foundation for Graphic Arts at the Fine Ar ts Museum of San Francisco\, a position he held since 1975\, Robert Flynn Johnson is the author of numerous books and critical essays. Two recent bo oks will be on sale at the Petaluma Art Center during the exhibition:  A nonymous: Enigmatic Images from Unknown Photographers and The Face in the Lens: Anonymous Photography.\nThe exhibition includes 12 quilts and numero us photographic images from Johnson’s second book\, The Face in the Lens . Selected photographs from the author’s collection will be offered for sale. Johnson will sign both books at the August 14 panel discussion with San Francisco gallery owners and fellow collectors\, Stephen Wirtz and Ro bert Tat.\nRELATED EVENTS:\nOpening Reception\nSaturday\, August 13\, 4-7p m (in conjunction with Petaluma Downtown Art Walk)\nDiscussion and Book Si gning\nSunday\, August 14 – 2 to 4pm\nAnonymous curator\, Robert Flynn J ohnson in conversation with fellow collectors\, gallery owners Stephen Wir tz and Robert Tat Robert Flynn Johnson will sign copies of his books on th e works of unknown photographers. $5 donation.\nSharing our Favorite Quits Saturday\, August 27\, 2pm Roderick Kiracofe The American Quilt: A Histor y of Cloth and Comfort Author\, collector and gallerist Rodney Kiracofe is a scholar of the American Quilt.

The etchings pay homage t o earlier illustrations by Arthur Rackham and Edmund Dulac\, but focus mor e on Hockney's imaginative response to the text rather than strict interpr etations of the narratives.\nAt a time when mainstream publishing houses a re questioning the very need for books published in traditional\, physica l formats\, artists who create books continue to creatively push the limi ts of the genre. Made primarily by Bay Area artists\, the books included in Rebound: A Survey of Contemporary California Artists' Books include a variety of formats and display a wide range of processes that currently i nterest the contemporary artist engaged in making artist's books. This exh ibition runs concurrently with the David Hockney show.\nExhibitions take p lace at Sonoma Valley Museum of Art\, 551 Broadway\, just off the Sonoma T own Plaza.
