Art & Conversation: Framing Early Photography and Its Discourse
to
Birmingham Museum of Art 2000 Rev. Abraham Woods Jr. Blvd, Birmingham, Alabama
Photography has sparked controversy since its beginnings in 1839. Debates about the nature of the medium – its aesthetic potential and its documentary capability – shaped and defined 19th-century practitioners and their images. Highlighting works from our own collection, art historian Anna Dietz presents us with a brief history of these issues in early photography. Tickets $10 for members; $15 for nonmembers.
