Discussion Lunch with Guest Curator and Preview Tour of American Horizons: The Photographs of Art Sinsabaugh.
Art Sinsabaugh said of his trademark but unwieldy camera, "It gave me the feeling the whole world is mine." In his extraordinary photographs he captured the breadth and the sweep of the American landscape, the particular and the poetic in the American cityscape, the real and the abstract. His photographs of people were "environmental portraits," placing them in the spaces they inhabited. As photo historian Keith Davis has written, "[H]is photography was a way to study, to savor, and to preserve the things he found of value" and he used it not only to capture the political and economic realities of American life but also to know who he was. Join us for lunch and a special preview tour of the American Horizons exhibit with Mr. Davis, guest curator and the director of the Hallmark Fine Arts Programs, and Nan Brewer, the IU Art Museum's Lucienne M. Glaubinger Curator of Works on Paper. The exhibition, which has been at the Art Institute of Chicago and elsewhere, will open to the public the evening of September 30 and be on display at the IU Art Museum through December 23. Visit the IUAM Web site for information on other events associated with the exhibit.
