Arthur P. Mange Photograph Collection
Arthur P. Mange taught in the Biology Department at University of Massachusetts Amherst for 31 years before retiring in 1995. A co-author of numerous works in human genetics, Mange served on the chair of the Conservation Committee in Amherst, and currently serves on the Burnett Gallery Committee. In 1983, his New England images were featured in Across the Valley (from Cummington to New Salem) held at the Burnett Gallery. This exhibition was followed at the Hitchcock Center in 1984 with Delight in Familiar Forms (celebrating some well-known plants and animals), with Ring Bell to Admit Bird at the Jones Library and Net Prophet at Cooley Dickinson Hospital. Architectural Sights — Big and Small, Mange’s most recent show (2002), appeared at the Burnett Gallery. In addition to exhibitions, Mange has also donated collections for fund-raising auctions at New York University, the Cooley Dickinson Hospital, the University of Massachusetts Fine Arts Center, the Amherst Historical Society, Jones Library, and the Amherst Community Arts Center.
His photographic collection spans more than half a century of subjects reflecting his varied interests in animals, plants, our region, gravestones, what he calls “whimsical signs,” and attention-grabbing shadows.
Background on Arthur Mange
Arthur Mange joined the Zoology Department (later the Biology Department) at the University of Massachusetts from the Midwest in 1964. He taught primarily genetics and with his wife, Elaine, co-authored several award-winning college textbooks of human genetics. Following retirement in 1997, he served on a number of committees in Amherst, including chair of the Conservation Commission, and currently serves on the Committee for the Burnett Gallery at the Jones Library in Amherst. Mange is a member of the Pioneer Valley Photographic Artists, whose members are dedicated to fine art photography. This group maintains rotating exhibits at the Franklin Medical Center in Greenfield, Bay State Hospital in Springfield, and the Nashawannuck Gallery in Easthampton.
For over half a century, Mange has taken thousands of black and white photographs of varied subjects. The pictures are from many places around the world, with about half of them from New England and the East coast. Like many photographers, Mange tries to present interesting (if possible unusual or artful), real-life images with nice composition, form, texture, and resolution. They faithfully record things that have caught his eye along the way.
Mange has participated in a score of solo or group photo shows at hospitals, libraries, banks, and other sites in Amherst, Northampton, Pelham, Hadley, Leverett, and Southampton. The subject of these shows have included mysterious images including close-ups, gravestones, plants and animals, architecture, local sights, windows, pictures taken looking down, whimsical signs, and travel pictures.

Contents of Collection
Arthur Mange’s collection of photographs consists of 339 images taken from 1965 to 2010. His subjects vary widely, from scenes around New England and New York City to scenes captured more locally from Amherst and Hadley to New Salem. Common themes include studies of nature, buildings, patterns, whimsical signs, attention-grabbing shadows, and gravestones.
Mange has used a number of single-lens reflex cameras over the years and 35-mm black and white film on multi-grade lustre-surface RC papers, with harldy any alterations except cropping and burning some unwanted highlighted areas. As of 2011, Mange has approximately 35,000 35-mm negatives of his work; from these he has printed around 2,500.

Cattails along Tan Brook, near high school
|
1975
|
|
75A-13
|
Keywords: Climate, winter. Location: Amherst, Massachusettes. Tan Brook used to meander through the cow pasture where the Amherst Middle School now stands. The stream makes a 100-yard above- ground appearance behind the Regional High School. Then on Triangle Street there is a curious sign that says “Tan Brook,” which may or may not refer to a little ditch by the west side of the road. |

75P-24
|
Keywords: Plant, fern. Location: Amherst, Massachusettes. Like the undergrowth at Stinson Lake, this fern occupied a small sunny spot in the woods. We were on a boat trip sponsored by Northfield Mountain Pumped Storage Facility. Although I have been known to move a rock or bend a stem for photographic purposes, this scene is 100% natural. |

Shed skin of a boa constrictor
|
1980
|
|
80A-33A
|
Keywords: Animal, snake. Location: Amherst, Massachusetts. For some years I had a pet boa. In my care, she grew from about a half inch in diameter to about four inches in diameter (and six feet long). She was very docile except when she was hungry, so I kept her well fed, mostly with mice. |
|||
Beech Fern at 160 Gray St.
|
1980
|
|
80B-20
|
Keywords: Plant, fern. Location: Amherst, Massachusetts. This fern (just a sprig or two) originally came from the side of Mt. Toby. It absolutely loves my back yard where I grow about 20 native fern species. |
|||
Tobacco leaves (Jekanowski farm)
|
1980
|
|
80F-22
|
Keywords: Plant, crop. Location: Hadley, Massachusetts. As with several other images, this one stemmed from years when our kids picked cucumbers and tobacco. Although tobacco is still profitably grown in the Pioneer Valley (for cigar wrappers, I am told), cucumbers are grown less since a farmers’ cooperative (previously Oxford Pickle) closed its processing plant in South Deerfield. |

Harvesting tobacco

|
|
80I-23
|
Keywords: Plant, crop. Location: Hadley, Massachusetts. My teenage son, Steven, at the Jekanowski Farm on Roosevelt Road. After a single axe cut, the stalks are spiked and hung upside down in barns for drying. This tobacco is used for cigars, I think. |

Grass weeds against clapboards
|
1981

Stones under large maple tree
|
1981
|
|
81F-10
|
Keywords: View, cemetary. Location: Hadley, Massachusetts. Cemetery Road in Hadley is one of our favorite views in the valley. Acres and acres of flat, fertile land west of the cemetery with the Berkshire foothills to the west and the Holyoke Range to the south gives us a thrill every time we go to Northampton. Some of the parcels are in danger of being developed and the Kestrel Trust is in the forefront of preservation efforts. |
|||
“Brand S” lumber, and mirrored image
|
1981
|
|
81F-27
|
Keywords: Sign, playful. Location: Amherst, Massachusetts. I think the workers who labeled this lumber inadvertently reversed the stencil – or maybe not. I have a large collection of whimsical signs. My policy is to avoid signs that are deliberately cute; this one is border-line. |
|||
Crabgrass in asphalt crack
|
1981
|
|
81F-29
|
Keywords: Plant, weed. Location: Amherst, Massachusetts. In the parking lot behind the stores on Triangle Street. Crabgrass is very hardy. |
|||
Fine Arts Center, bike and reflecting pool
|
1981
|
|
81F-35
|
Keywords: Building, UMass. Location: Amherst, Massachusetts. Some of my photography friends also have a picture like this. As some viewers know, the reflecting pool is gone. Too bad. |
|||
Unused Library with weeds
|
1981
|
|
81G-03
|
Keywords: Building, UMass Location: Amherst, Massachusetts. When the library bricks from high up were chipping off and threatening pedestrians below, the University put a fence around the base, but neglected to cut the weeds inside the fence for a long time. The day after I took this picture while wandering around, the weeds were cut. Your guess as to why is as good as mine. |

“Samuel Phillips Porter” axed
|
1981
|
|
81G-25
|
Keywords: Gravestone, story. Location: Hadley, Massachusetts. Why would the family put this sentiment on a gravestone? This stone is no longer there. Where is it? |
|||
Three young Montague children
|
1981
|
|
81G-29
|
Keywords: Gravestone, name. Location: Hadley, Massachusetts. The Montague graveyard has a lot of photogenic images. (See also 79D-19 and 79E-07.) |
|||
“Daniel Marsh”
|
1981
|
|
81G-31
|
Keywords: Gravestone, name. Location: Hadley, Massachusetts. Apparently hand-carved on a tight budget. When photographing gravestones I often use a door mirror mounted on a tripod so I can glance sunlight off the stone to better read the inscription. Note that the stone in the background has a dark side toward the viewer; the Marsh stone would too except for the mirror off the picture to the right. |
|||
Sarah Hopkins Williams

Gas pumps boarded up [now dental office]
|
1981
|
|
81I-12
|
Keywords: Building, run-down. Location: Amherst, Massachusetts. Since the 1960’s, an auto mechanic garage on this spot, and then just a gas station both folded. Funny, its location on Triangle Street with its traffic seems ideal. It is now a dental office. (Some viewers will know that there was plenty of opposition to the building of Triangle Street in the early 1800’s, and at night protestors would dig up what was put down during the day.) |
|||
“Emily Dickinson, Called Back”
|
1981

Five school buses in a row – Junior High
|
Amherst, Massachusetts.
|
|

Keywords: Vehicle, buses. Location: Amherst, Massachusetts. Buses line up at the (now) Amherst Middle School. When I look at this picture I always ask myself why it is “buses” rather than “busses.” |

82B-04
|
Keywords: View, woods. Location: Cummington, Massachusetts. This shot was used for the advertising poster for my first photo show, “Across the Valley; from Cummington to New Salem,” at the Burnett Gallery in 1983. The Burnett Gallery was relocated (to its current quarters) when the Jones Library addition was built in the early 1990’s. |

Small stone embraced by tree trunk
|
1982
|
|
82B-08

Keywords: Gravestone, feature. Location: Cummington, Massachusetts. It’s clear that both the stone and the tree have a long history in this spot. |
|||
Clapboards and window
|
1982
|
|
82B-30
|
Keywords: Buildingm run-down. Location: Cummington, Massachusetts. I think the structure seen in the window is a bed. Note that you can see through the small house. |
|||
Large cut leaf beech, Main and Triangle

“Tillson Farm Boiler Plant” – sort of
|
1982
|
|
82D-01
|
Keywords: Sign, playful. Location: Amherst, Massachusetts. I think this is a true whimsical sign in that it occurred without plan – the letters just fell off. Some viewers will know that the multi-million-dollar power plant never operated because it was incorrectly designed and/or constructed. It is still there (with its tall stack, 82D-14), although the oil tank (82D-11) for fuel storage has been dismantled. |

Marijuana in flagstone crack, UMass
|
1982
|
|
82F-09
|
Keywords: Plants, weeds. Location: Amherst, Massachusetts. While wandering around campus I snapped this small marijuana plant in a flagstone crack at the campus center, most likely from a discarded butt. I spent a lot of time with composition. As with the weeds around the library (81G-03), the next day the plant was not there. I think a university employee saw me and thought I was about to write a newspaper expose of campus life. |

|
82H-08
|
Keywords: Climate, fog. Location: Quabbin, Massachusetts. This image is one of my personal favorites and has long hung on my own wall. I have always printed it small – 5×7″ — although it is a very large object — a viewer takes it in all at once. And it reminds me of the personal sacrifices of many regular folk who were called on to relieve the thirst of faraway but powerful people. |

Pickle vat “379”
|
1982
|
|
82M-25
|
Keywords: Sign, number Location: South Deerfield, Massachusetts. This is one of hundreds (you see) of vats at the Oxford Pickle processing plant. Elaine and I wandered in, and, although we wondered whether we should be there, nobody stopped us. We climbed a ladder to view the cucumber contents and (we say) could have spat in the vat. After perhaps 15 minutes, someone politely suggested that we leave. |

A man was raking smooth the gravel paths. I asked him the name of the flowers that graced a fence, and he told me (a Clematis species). Then I said that I loved the layout (and whimsical stone decorations), but was put off by the pink plastic-covered poles. He said, “That’s funny; I designed this garden.” So said Dean Cardasis of the Landscape Architecture Department (filling in for the maintenance person, who had broken his shoulder). |

Keywords: Arts, quilt. Location: Northfield, Vermont. This is a good place to say to my friends who inquire about why I don’t do color? The answer is that I find enough to do in black and white, and sometimes color is a distraction. Occasionally, I say to myself, wouldn’t this be a nice image in color, and I either take it anyway, or I don’t take it at all. I can say this would be a nice color picture. So be it. |

Background on Arthur Mange
Arthur Mange joined the Zoology Department (later the Biology Department) at the University of Massachusetts from the Midwest in 1964. He taught primarily genetics and with his wife, Elaine, co-authored several award-winning college textbooks of human genetics. Following retirement in 1997, he served on a number of committees in Amherst, including chair of the Conservation Commission, and currently serves on the Committee for the Burnett Gallery at the Jones Library in Amherst. Mange is a member of the Pioneer Valley Photographic Artists, whose members are dedicated to fine art photography. This group maintains rotating exhibits at the Franklin Medical Center in Greenfield, Bay State Hospital in Springfield, and the Nashawannuck Gallery in Easthampton.
For over half a century, Mange has taken thousands of black and white photographs of varied subjects. The pictures are from many places around the world, with about half of them from New England and the East coast. Like many photographers, Mange tries to present interesting (if possible unusual or artful), real-life images with nice composition, form, texture, and resolution. They faithfully record things that have caught his eye along the way.
Mange has participated in a score of solo or group photo shows at hospitals, libraries, banks, and other sites in Amherst, Northampton, Pelham, Hadley, Leverett, and Southampton. The subject of these shows have included mysterious images including close-ups, gravestones, plants and animals, architecture, local sights, windows, pictures taken looking down, whimsical signs, and travel pictures.

Contents of Collection
Arthur Mange’s collection of photographs consists of 339 images taken from 1965 to 2010. His subjects vary widely, from scenes around New England and New York City to scenes captured more locally from Amherst and Hadley to New Salem. Common themes include studies of nature, buildings, patterns, whimsical signs, attention-grabbing shadows, and gravestones.
Mange has used a number of single-lens reflex cameras over the years and 35-mm black and white film on multi-grade luster-surface RC papers, with hardly any alterations except cropping and burning some unwanted highlighted areas. As of 2011, Mange has approximately 35,000 35-mm negatives of his work; from these he has printed around 2,500.

Acres and acres of flat, fertile land west of the cemetery with the Berkshire foothills to the west and the Holyoke Range to the south gives us a thrill every time we go to Northampton. Some of the parcels are in danger of being developed and the Kestrel Trust is in the forefront of preservation efforts. |

Keywords: Building, UMass Location: Amherst, Massachusetts. When the library bricks from high up were chipping off and threatening pedestrians below, the University put a fence around the base, but neglected to cut the weeds inside the fence for a long time. The day after I took this picture while wandering around, the weeds were cut. Your guess as to why is as good as mine. |

“Daniel Marsh”
|
1981
|
|
81G-31
|
Keywords: Gravestone, name. Location: Hadley, Massachusetts. Apparently hand-carved on a tight budget. When photographing gravestones I often use a door mirror mounted on a tripod so I can glance sunlight off the stone to better read the inscription. Note that the stone in the background has a dark side toward the viewer; the Marsh stone would too except for the mirror off the picture to the right. |

Funny, its location on Triangle Street with its traffic seems ideal. It is now a dental office. (Some viewers will know that there was plenty of opposition to the building of Triangle Street in the early 1800’s, and at night protestors would dig up what was put down during the day.) |

Keywords: Sign, playful. Location: Amherst, Massachusetts. I think this is a true whimsical sign in that it occurred without plan – the letters just fell off. Some viewers will know that the multi-million-dollar power plant never operated because it was incorrectly designed and/or constructed.

While wandering around campus I snapped this small marijuana plant in a flagstone crack at the campus center, most likely from a discarded butt. I spent a lot of time with composition. As with the weeds around the library (81G-03), the next day the plant was not there. I think a university employee saw me and thought I was about to write a newspaper expose of campus life. |

I have always printed it small – 5×7″ — although it is a very large object — a viewer takes it in all at once. And it reminds me of the personal sacrifices of many regular folk who were called on to relieve the thirst of faraway but powerful people. |

Then I said that I loved the layout (and whimsical stone decorations), but was put off by the pink plastic-covered poles.
