Coming in September
PURE PHOTOGRAPHY
FILM SERIES MOVIE MATINEE SERIES: “Existential Comedies & Dramas“
—Pictorial and Modern Photographs from the Syracuse University Art Collection
Opening Reception: Friday, Sept. 12, 6-8 p.m. Photographers included in this exhibition have extensive histories that span thematic periods and artistic styles. Taking their cues from masters like Edward Steichen, artists such as Berenice Abbott and Manuel Álvarez Bravo built on that foundation to explore the very art of photography. Utilizing their cameras, they created a new, modern vision for photography with a revised understanding of the camera and its capabilities. No longer tied to a pictorial past, these artists, and others, gave photography its own unique definition as an art form based solely on its ability to capture and create striking images.

The second chapter in this survey exhibition gathers selected images from collecting initiated after the formal establishment of the Southeast Museum of Photography in 1992, and features acquisitions made in those first nine years of the museum’s collecting, until 2001.
