MORE IMAGES FROM THIS
SHOW
From the time of its invention in 1839, photography has fascinated the public with its ability to capture the actual appearance of people, places, and things. The holdings of The Heckscher Museum include documentary photographers such as Berenice Abbott, N. Jay Jaffee, Neil Scholl, and the Russian photojournalist Mark Markov-Grinberg; street photographers such as Larry Fink, Leon Levinstein, and Gary Winogrand; and nature photographers such as Stuart McCallum and the environmental artist Barbara Roux. Experimental work by Man Ray, who created photographic images without using a camera, and Joe Constantino, who works with infrared techniques, is also represented. Other highlights of this installation include Eadward Muybridge, who used the camera to document human and animal motion, and Stanley Twardowicz, who experimented with abstraction photography.
