Master of Modern Photography
| 21 October 2014 – 4 January 2015 Philadelphia Museum of Art | Philadelphia, U.S.A. |
|||||
| Paul Strand: Master of Modern Photography represents the first major retrospective in nearly fifty years devoted to Paul Strand (1890–1976). It will explore the remarkable evolution of Strand’s work, from the breakthrough moment in the second decade of the twentieth century when he brought his art to the brink of abstraction to his broader vision of the place of photography in the modern world, which he would develop over the course of a career that spanned six decades. | |||||
| The exhibition will celebrate the recent acquisition of more than 3,000 prints from the Paul Strand Archive, which has made the Philadelphia Museum of Art the world’s largest and most comprehensive repository of the work of one of the most important photographers in the history of the medium. | |||||
