QUAKING ASPEN — Gary Metz. In the 1970s, the late photographer and educator Gary Metz generated a significant body of work that was very much in the spirit of the times. Metz’s “Quaking Aspen: a Lyric Complaint” challenged the first 100 years of landscape photography, which had placed a major emphasis on depicting nature as sublime, heroic and unspoiled. Unlike previous photographers who glorified nature, Metz and his contemporaries wrenched photography out of the national parks and replaced the scenic with the vernacular of the everyday American landscape.
IN EXILE: Paris and New York — Photographs of Fred Stein. Stein was an early champion of street and documentary photography recognized for his iconic images of life in Paris and New York from the 1930s through the early 1960s as well as portraits of important writers, artists, scientists and celebrities of the time, such as Albert Einstein, Salvador Dalí, and Marlene Dietrich. While Stein originally set out to be a public defender, his pastime of photography became his livelihood when he fled from Germany to Paris in 1933, the year Hitler was appointed Chancellor. He fled again from Paris to New York City in 1941. His career was cut short when he died at age 58 and it is only in recent years that his work is getting the recognition it deserves.
COMMUNITY PHOTOGRAPHY WORKSHOP — “The Art of Visual Storytelling,” May 14, 9:30 a.m.-4:30 p.m. The workshop aims to familiarize photographers with the creative tools available to them — such as light, color, shape and expression — and to encourage their use to better conceptualize their ideas and bring them to life.
