PERFECT BRIGHTNESS: DISCOVERY AND ESCAPE IN CONTEMPORARY PHOTOGRAPHY

November 10, 2017 – April 29, 2018

Curated by: Sarah Fillmore

Perfect Brightness features photographs from the Permanent Collection and is based in so-called “straight” photography or practices that attempt to depict a scene or subject in sharp focus and detail, commensurate with the qualities that distinguish photography as a discipline from other visual media, particularly painting. As the subtitle suggests, the works included in this exhibition elicit ideas of travel, sending us on a journey around the world.

Artists: Ansel Adams • Tim Brennan • Edward Burtynsky • Genevieve Cadieux • Ronald Caplan • Gary Castle • Cora Cluett • Alvin Comiter • Lois Conner • Larry Fink • Franco Fontana • Jane Hinton • Thaddeus Holownia • Daniel Kazimierski • Michael Kenna • Sid Kerner • Hiroyuki Masuyama • George E.
