“Moment in Time” Captures Birth of Corporate Art Collections | June 8–September 15
The first photographs ever made astonished the public with their apparent ability to freeze time. Even today we continue to be fascinated by the power of photography. The exhibition, Moment in Time, at The TAFT MUSEUM of ART now through mid-September features more than 100 photographs dating from the invention of the medium in the 1830s through the mid-20th century. The exhibition includes compelling masterworks by William Henry Fox Talbot, Julia Margaret Cameron, Timothy O’Sullivan, Alfred Stieglitz, Henri Cartier-Bresson, Ansel Adams, Dorothea Lange, and Walker Evans, among others. Their interests ranged from perfecting photography’s technical capabilities to documenting the formal beauty of nature to exposing the social realities of America. All, however, explored the breadth and depth of the camera’s ability to capture a moment in time. Co-curator Angela Fuller has more in the Spotlight
