Hugh Robertson, Photographer
HUGH ROBERTSON PHOTOGRAPHER
An Exhibition
October 30 to December 21, 2003
Dominion Modern is proud to present a retrospective of the work of Hugh Robertson. Synonymous with architectural photography, Robertson was at the helm of Panda Photography, the premiere house for architectural photography, where he perfected the art he began in the 1930's. For the next sixty years Robertson would go on to record a country bursting at the seams with energy and exuberance. Robertson refined himself as an artist with a sharp eye whose work was defined with a bold, dramatic, and simple elegance. His oeuvre includes architecture, commercial, industrial and war photography. As one of the chief documentarians of the 20th Century Robertson belongs to a unique league of gentlemen photograhers that were true pioneers.

URBANISM
Urbanism is dedicated to Canadian Modern Architecture & Design, and to the Preservation of Architecture across the Dominion of Canada. Urbanism was launched in mid-1998 in a campaign to save Toronto's CNE Grandstand Stadium from demolition. Urbanism is a resourse for the public to utilise and act if they so choose. These will include demolition alerts, new construction, databases on Modern Architecture, General Canadian Architecture, Architects, Industry, and Canadian Industrial Design.
