In Body and Soul: The Figure in Modernist Photography
Event Details
From Alfred Stieglitz's intimate composite portraits of Georgia O'Keeffe to Lewis Hine's depictions of American laborers, modernist-era photographers radically shifted how the human body was captured on film and for what purpose. Employing a variety of techniques from cropping and zooming, to distortion and framing, modernist photographers explored the human figure for social, performative, voyeuristic and documentary purposes. Highlights include the work of Stieglitz, Hine, Berenice Abbott, Margaret Bourke-White, George Platt Lynes and László Moholy-Nagy.
