People/Place: American Social Landscape Photography, 1950-1980

Each image in this exhibition provides a window that allows the viewer to look back in time and discover fragments of the sociopolitical, cultural, and emotional landscape that shaped that period.  On the surface, the cars, clothing, and advertisements offer a rush of nostalgia, “yet pondering the images reveals the psychologically charged millisecond when the photographer and subject connected. Whether posed or candid, local or distant, the work presented in this exhibition shows how social landscape photography elevates what most would view as minutiae of everyday life, transforming it in a captivating and visually stunning manner,” states Kline.
