A
practicing physician, Buswell has been photographing Montana's
ghost towns for more than 30 years. Many of the recent photographs
in this exhibit approach abstraction, a new development
in his chronicle of abandoned settlements.
Buswell
had his first one-person show at MMAC in 1991. Since then,
his work has been collected by nearly 90 museums, including
Boston's Museum of Fine Arts, the Smithsonian Institution's
National Museum of American History and the Library of Congress.
