Note:	Robert Cumming: A contemporary American photographer, printmaker and conceptual artist, Robert Cumming studied art techniques at the Massachusetts College of Art, Boston (1961-1965), and at the University of Illinois, Urbana (1965-1967). He first won national recognition for his photographs exhibited in the early 1970’s. In these works he often constructed the objects and their settings to produce elements associated with illusion, time and motion. During the 1980's, Cumming explored similar concerns in both lithography and etching and in his installation pieces.
