Intersection Painting, Drawing and Photography

This exhibition will examine the history of the complex intersection of painting and photography. In particular, the genres of portraiture and landscape will demonstrate how the two mediums have impacted each other from the mid- 19th century to the present. In the 19th century, artists such

as Fitz Henry Lane, Thomas Eakins, and Edgar Degas

used photography to support their painting process, while photographers such as Peter Henry Emerson and Edward Steichen attempted to elevate photography to an art form. In the 20th century, photo-realists such as Chuck Close and Ralph Goings were directly inspired by the unique vision of the camera.
