New Exhibits during the Decatur Arts Festival
|
Highlights from the Guy Hayes Collection:
Food, Fun & Fashion in the Modern Era
This exhibit represents a small selection of black
and white photographs from the Hayes collection and provides a unique
view of food trends, clothing styles and recreational diversions of the
1950s and 1960s.
Guy Hayes was a professional freelance photographer from 1944 - 1983. He graduated from Clarkston High School and served in the Navy during World War II. After the war, he settled in Avondale Estates. Hayes was a regular contributor to The Atlanta Journal, The Atlanta Constitution and The DeKalb News/Sun. Over 11,000 of his original negatives were donated to the History Center in 1984. A grant from the Decatur Beer Festival helped us to begin digitization of these negatives in 2010. Although very little documentation accompanied this collection, Hayes' artistic work reveals a prolific talent with an incisive eye. read more . -------------------------
