The Art of the American Snapshot, 1888--1978: From the Collection of Robert E. Jackson
Amon Carter Museum
February 16–April 27, 2008
With the advent of George Eastman’s Kodak camera and roll film in 1888, photography became an everyday aspect of modern life. Experience the phenomenon of the snapshot in America, from its beginnings in the late nineteenth century up to the 1970s, in this special exhibition organized by the National Gallery of Art.
Featuring images that resonate—either by intention or happy accident—beyond personal emotion or biography, this exhibition is organized chronologically and explores the technological, social, and cultural aspects of snapshot photography as well as its influence on high art.
The exhibition is organized by the National Gallery of Art, Washington.
