Edward Steichen, Self Portrait, 1929

This month P&D presents:  Steichen and Stieglitz: Through the Lens

The mentor (Stieglitz) and his disciple (Steichen) aimed their camera’s lenses at the contents of the world, viewing their subjects with deeply differing philosophical and photographic theories. Both men, though, were pioneers of photography as art rather than as merely reportage. This talk will discuss how each man’s perception enhances a viewer’s experience of a photograph and enriches a ‘vocabulary of seeing.’

Talk by: Rheba Adolf
Date: Friday June 9, 2017
Time: 11 am (arrive at 10:30 to view works on display!)
