Heading: Author: Bullock, Wynn Title: Correspondence between Wynn Bullock and William Dellenback Place Published: Monterey, CA; Bloomington, IN Publisher: Date Published: 1960-61 Description: Includes: 5 letters from Wynn Bullock to Wm. H. Dellenback. 2 with replies from Dellenback (including 2 snapshots of a damaged package). 2 Christmas cards with gelatin silver prints mounted on cards. Each card signed on verso and inscribed to William Dellenback; one of the cards is signed on recto by Wynn Bullock. Collection of letters between photographers Wynn Bullock and William Dellenback. Dellenback was at the University of Indiana and photographer for The Kinsey Institute for Research in Sex, Gender, and Reproduction. The letters relate to a botched shipment of Bullock‘s photographs but also raise several issues such as Bullock‘s enthusiasm for his new series of light abstractions, “Between bread and butter photography I am still working mostly in light abstractions. To me they are far more beautiful than black and white abstractions.“ Bullock also asks Dellenback to pass on his greetings to fellow Indiana photographer Henry Holmes Smith. In addition to Bullock‘s mention of his excitement to be in a show with Aaron Siskind, there is an intriguing newspaper clipping Bullock sends to Dellenback – a Monterey Peninsula Herald article on poisonous mushrooms.
