This exquisite showcase comprised 30 captivating photographs, masterfully executed using traditional techniques such as palladium, cyanotype, and silver gelatin. Among the highlights were the ethereal “Iris” rendered in palladium, and the striking “1956 Lincoln Premiere” in silver gelatin. Art enthusiasts had the opportunity to immerse themselves in Blum’s vision until December 21.[/ut_header][/vc_column][vc_column width=”1/2″][ut_animated_image size=”full” align=”center” delay=”true” image=”497″ effect=”fadeIn” delay_timer=”50″ custom_width=”” custom_height=”” custom_crop=”on” image_opacity=”100″ image_border_radius=”0″ align_tablet=”inherit” align_mobile=”center” link_type=”none” lightbox_size=”hd” link=”” lightbox_iframe=”” hide_image_title=”yes” hover=”no” caption_style=”” caption_content=”caption” custom_caption=”” custom_caption_small=”” caption_transform=”” caption_font_weight=”” caption_letter_spacing=”0″ caption_font_size=”” caption_line_height=”” caption_color=”” caption_background=”” caption_below=”no” caption_below_transform=”” caption_below_font_weight=”bold” caption_below_letter_spacing=”0″ caption_below_font_size=”” caption_below_line_height=”” caption_below_color=”” image_offset=”no” image_zoom=”yes” shadow=”no” shadow_canvas_color=”” shadow_color=”” revealfx=”off” revealfx_color=”” revealfx_direction=”lr” revealfx_delay=”0″ revealfx_duration=”750″ glitch_transparent=”off” glitch_effect=”none” glitch_effect_transparent=”none” permanent_glitch=”on” accent_1=”” accent_2=”” accent_3=”” rotation=”0″ rotation_tablet_change=”off” rotation_tablet=”0″ rotation_mobile_change=”off” rotation_mobile=”0″ animation_duration=”” animate_once=”yes” animate_tablet=”false” animate_mobile=”false” class=”” cursor_skin=”inherit” css=””][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row disable_element=”yes”][vc_column width=”1/2″ delay=”true” effect=”fadeInUp” delay_timer=”50″][ut_animated_image size=”large” align=”center” link_type=”none” hover=”no” caption_font_weight=”” image=”677″ effect=”none” caption_color=”#ffffff” caption_background=”rgba(20, 22, 24, 0.75)” custom_width=”” custom_height=”” custom_crop=”on” image_opacity=”100″ image_border_radius=”0″ align_tablet=”inherit” align_mobile=”center” lightbox_size=”hd” link=”” lightbox_iframe=”” hide_image_title=”yes” caption_style=”” caption_content=”caption” custom_caption=”” custom_caption_small=”” caption_transform=”” caption_letter_spacing=”0″ caption_font_size=”” caption_line_height=”” caption_below=”no” caption_below_transform=”” caption_below_font_weight=”bold” caption_below_letter_spacing=”0″ caption_below_font_size=”” caption_below_line_height=”” caption_below_color=”” image_offset=”no” image_zoom=”yes” shadow=”no” shadow_canvas_color=”” shadow_color=”” revealfx=”off” revealfx_color=”” revealfx_direction=”lr” revealfx_delay=”0″ revealfx_duration=”750″ glitch_transparent=”off” glitch_effect=”none” glitch_effect_transparent=”none” permanent_glitch=”on” accent_1=”” accent_2=”” accent_3=”” rotation=”0″ rotation_tablet_change=”off” rotation_tablet=”0″ rotation_mobile_change=”off” rotation_mobile=”0″ animation_duration=”” animate_once=”yes” animate_tablet=”false” animate_mobile=”false” delay=”false” delay_timer=”” class=”” cursor_skin=”inherit” css=””][/vc_column][vc_column width=”1/2″ delay=”true” effect=”fadeInUp” delay_timer=”100″][ut_animated_image size=”large” align=”center” link_type=”none” hover=”no” caption_font_weight=”” image=”684″ effect=”none” caption_color=”#ffffff” caption_background=”rgba(20, 22, 24, 0.75)” custom_width=”” custom_height=”” custom_crop=”on” image_opacity=”100″ image_border_radius=”0″ align_tablet=”inherit” align_mobile=”center” lightbox_size=”hd” link=”” lightbox_iframe=”” hide_image_title=”yes” caption_style=”” caption_content=”caption” custom_caption=”” custom_caption_small=”” caption_transform=”” caption_letter_spacing=”0″ caption_font_size=”” caption_line_height=”” caption_below=”no” caption_below_transform=”” caption_below_font_weight=”bold” caption_below_letter_spacing=”0″ caption_below_font_size=”” caption_below_line_height=”” caption_below_color=”” image_offset=”no” image_zoom=”yes” shadow=”no” shadow_canvas_color=”” shadow_color=”” revealfx=”off” revealfx_color=”” revealfx_direction=”lr” revealfx_delay=”0″ revealfx_duration=”750″ glitch_transparent=”off” glitch_effect=”none” glitch_effect_transparent=”none” permanent_glitch=”on” accent_1=”” accent_2=”” accent_3=”” rotation=”0″ rotation_tablet_change=”off” rotation_tablet=”0″ rotation_mobile_change=”off” rotation_mobile=”0″ animation_duration=”” animate_once=”yes” animate_tablet=”false” animate_mobile=”false” delay=”false” delay_timer=”” class=”” cursor_skin=”inherit” css=””][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][ut_fancy_link font_weight=”” link=”url:https%3A%2F%2Fwww.mcall.com%2F2022%2F11%2F13%2Fartist-matthew-blums-nature-and-machine-at-the-bethlehem-town-hall-rotunda-gallery-photos%2F||target:%20_blank|”]Morning Call[/ut_fancy_link][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][ut_image_gallery thumbnail_size=”medium” grid=”3″ gallery=”776,775,774,773,772,771,770,769,758″][/vc_column][/vc_row][/vc_section]
