A Visual Legacy : Selected Books and Photographs from the Donald Dickinson Gift

This student-curated exhibition celebrates
Professor Donald Dickinson’s generous donations
to Ryerson University’s Mira Godard Study Centre.
These comprise rare and first-edition publications
and photographs from the late 1950s through the
1970s. Books by Walker Evans, Robert Frank, and
Eikoh Hosoe, among others, are presented
alongside original prints by Thomas Barrow, Roger
Mertin, and Minor White. The exhibition explores
Dickinson’s response to the varied photographic
practices and publishing of this significant period.
