The Quiet Landscapes of William B. Post

Saturday, September 10, 2005—Sunday, January 22, 2006
Harrison Photography Gallery
Free Exhibition

This exhibition consists of 60 subtle landscape photographs dating 1890-1910, drawn entirely from the Institute's permanent collection. Post (1857-1921) was one of the first photographers to make creative images with the camera, associating with Alfred Stieglitz and presenting his pictures in the leading photographic periodical, Camera Work. Post excelled at picturing the snow, water lilies, and apple trees of Maine, rendering them in softly-focused and understated platinum prints. This exhibition rediscovers an underappreciated master, will be accompanied by a catalogue, and will travel to other American museums:
