John Hanson (director)

from Carleton College, and did postgraduate studies in architecture at the Harvard Graduate School of Design.

He is past chair and current board member of the Wisconsin Humanities Council.

Weather and wind throw cloud shadows across the landscape, a moving panorama of light, color and form.

These remarkable photographs, taken over a span of 30 years, capture the magical moods and textures of a sublime, singular landscape—a rare retrospective of images taken by Hanson as he rambled the back roads of the plains below the sky.
