Curated by Tom Beck and organized by the Library Gallery in partnership with the Corcoran Museum of Art and the George Eastman House , the project will provide the first real critical examination of imagery by the pioneering photojournalist David Seymour.
This project will elevate the significance of work by Seymour, the least well-recognized master among the founders of Magnum Photos , and will better familiarize viewers with the symbolism and artistic roots of his imagery. The retrospective is organized chronologically and showcases many of the photojournalistic black and white images for which Seymour is best known. No previous exhibition of Seymour's work included his color work.
Ten years after he was killed in while covering the Suez Crisis in Egypt, Seymour was eulogized by his friend and colleague, photographer Henri Cartier-Bresson: His own was vulnerable. Seymour felt deeply the wounds that plagued the human spirit during the s and s. He sought to show in his photographs that hope could prevail in times of turmoil.
Many of his best known images introduced the world to the suffering and resilience of children in the aftermath of war. His humanitarian style established traditions still common in contemporary media. Kuhn Library Gallery will present three minute presentations on the work of David Seymour, followed by a public reception: He began a lifelong career as a photojournalist in for the left-leaning French magazine, Regards.
At that time, Chim plunged into a world undergoing massive redefinition. Mass-appeal magazines proliferated photojournalism with the introduction of faster and cheaper production methods. With this revolutionary, miniature camera, innovative photographers were able to capture the less formal, more spontaneous images that became popular during this era. Seymour was very well educated, fluent in several languages and had deep affinities for different countries and their peoples. In covering many important subjects and historical moments, including the plight of the French working class, organization of the socialist Front Populaire, the Spanish Civil War, World War II, post-war life in Italy and Greece, early evolution of the state of Israel and the Suez Canal crisis, Seymour aimed to inform his audience so that they might better understand the potential of the world.
His images were published in leading magazines, such as Life , Paris Match , This Week and Regards from to , and were noted as rarely posed and achieved without affectation or manipulation. Seymour loved photographing people going about their lives, often under difficult circumstances such as war and its aftermath, and revealing their humanity. His photographs depicting the physically and spiritually maimed children of Europe attracted worldwide attention to the suffering of these forgotten victims of war. Many of these moving images were published in magazines around the world and earned Seymour a reputation as the quintessential empathetic photojournalist.

Kuhn Library Gallery presents two exhibitions of work by John Pfahl , a preeminent landscape photographer whose work concentrates on merging idealized landscape images with visual traces of human existence. On April 18th at 4: A reception will follow. Photographs of the Susquehanna pays homage to the Susquehanna River, a waterway that has played a historic role in American transportation.
Pfahl has systematically followed and photographed the river from its origins in Otsego Lake to its mouth in the Chesapeake Bay, documenting its picturesque qualities. The images reference early American landscape art and capture a similar stillness, clarity and sensitivity to light and timelessness. Extreme Horticulture includes photographs taken over several years in private and public gardens around the United States.
The highway follows the river for about fifty miles between Shamokin Dam and Harrisburg—fifty miles of constantly changing river views. Cutting through five mountain ridges, spotted with wooded islands large and small, and featuring wide glassy surfaces interspersed with riffles and rapids, the Susquehanna appeared to be a condensed catalog of classic river landscapes.
The light on that first occasion, and on many subsequent visits, was transcendent. The river seemed to soften the air through which it flowed, conjuring up tones of 19th century American landscape painting. Not easily navigable because of rocks and rapids, and not in close proximity to major cities, it clearly proved more of a challenge for artists to explore and paint. It was, arguably, more "picturesque" than the Hudson. In fact, the Susquehanna closely resembled and still resembles the fabled River Wye in Wales, where William Gilpin, in the late 18th century, developed the landscape paradigms that so greatly influenced masses of English watercolorists.
Nevertheless, the mile long Susquehanna and its mile long West Branch languished largely ignored by the heavy-hitters of 19th century landscape painting. My project references early American landscape art, particularly that of painters in the Luminist mode. The timelessness, stillness, clarity, and especially, the sensitivity to light in the paintings of John Frederick Kensett, Fitz Hugh Lane, and Martin Johnson Heade have been a particular source of inspiration. Two early photographers also proved relevant: Rau, with his photographs of Susquehanna and other river scenes taken while he was working for the Pennsylvania Railroad, and Seneca Ray Stoddard, Luminist photographer of Lake George and the Adirondacks.
Of course, my greatest inspiration was the Susquehanna itself, which I followed systematically from its origin in Otsego Lake to its mouth in the Chesapeake Bay, enticed, always, by what lay waiting around the next bend. He has appeared in over group and solo exhibitions, and his work is represented in at least forty-five public and corporate collections, including the George Eastman House International Museum of Photography, the Cleveland Museum of Art, and the Art Institute of Chicago.

Scott Arford Static Room , Two-channel video installation with sound excerpt above Dimensions variable Courtesy the artist. Static Room is an abstract audiovisual composition of manipulated static that spatially surrounds the viewer both sonically and visually. The audio track was generated directly by the flickering, strobing image itself—the image and the sound having been created from the same signal, the same set of data.
What Sound Does a Color Make? The exhibition will include a selection of single-channel videos from the s and feature several sensuous new media environments that fascinate both technophiles and general audiences alike, heightening awareness of human perception and cognition. For some people, a stimulus to one of the five senses evokes the sensation of another sense, as when hearing a sound produces the visualization of a color.
For contemporary audiovisual artists, the possibilities inspired by this phenomenon, known as synesthesia, have expanded with the advent of recent digital technologies that translate all electronic media, whether sounds or moving images, into the zeros and ones of computer bits. United by similar and overlapping premises, the works in the exhibition are widely divergent in their results.
They range from large-scale immersive installations with moving forms that morph to corresponding tonal compositions, to discrete DVD stations inviting viewers to access electronic music pieces in different combinations with videos. Another contemporary work is an interactive installation by D-Fuse , a London-based collective of artists and musicians, which layers different music soundtracks onto dynamic video clips, creating a distinctive audiovisual experience. The earlier works from the s, by such pioneers of video art as Nam June Paik , Steina Vasulka , and Gary Hill , place the current interest in synesthetic media art in a broader historical context, offering a unique perspective on this phenomenon.
The exhibition will encourage a high degree of individual engagement and self-reflection, as well as further thought about the ways that visual and aural stimuli are electronically, digitally and perceptually connected.
The exhibition and tour are made possible, in part, by grants from The David Bermant Foundation: On Thursday, February 2nd at 5 pm, Kathleen Forde , curator of the exhibition, will lead a gallery tour.

Images in this release: Kuhn Library Gallery presents Extraordinary Bodies: Photographers and medicine are no strangers. The visual representation of anatomy and pathology as viewed by the camera dates back to the advent of the daguerreotype, and early pathology was used by doctors and scientists to create anatomical atlases as well as document disease and trauma. Photographs also allowed physicians to keep exact visual records of cases long after patients died.
The historical bond between photographers and medicine carries forward to the present day with Extraordinary Bodies: For some of these photographers, the medical manipulation of the body—an act that amounts to the isolation of the part from the whole—becomes a visual metaphor for the human condition. Others experiment with the juxtaposition of real or artificial body parts and the public and private spaces of the Museum itself. The images in the exhibition extend the boundaries of traditional photographic subject matter, finding beauty not in conventional forms, but in internal marvels and in the enigma of those whose bodies—deformed, broken, and disfigured—have suffered physical abnormality, trauma or destructive disease.
On Tuesday, February 21 at 4: A reception will follow the lecture. Objects from the Special Collections Department , as well as art and artifacts from all over the world, are displayed in challenging and informative exhibitions for the University community and the public. Admission to the Gallery is free.

Suffering shakes Don Perlimplin out of his fear of chaos into the power of his imagination.
Reborn into life, love and eros, ironically through death, the Don, and his creator, in redoubled irony, find their place in the great traditional theme of Spanish literature and art—the truth of desire and the reality of imagined worlds. In these impossible plays lie my real intentions.
But to demonstrate a personality and gain the right to respect, I've written other things. From the infamous Cottingham fairy photographs through Victorian spiritualist images to recent grainy images of Sasquatch and sky-borne saucers, photographs have attempted to provide the material of proof of the otherworldly. The earliest photographic images rendered a detailed impression of the subjects materiality, and, through the process of doubling and repeating, seemed to destabilize reality by producing the ghost image, a dematerialization of the three-dimensional world.
In response to this strange new technology, some Victorian minds associated photography with the occult, believing the human eye did not see at all, that human perception was blind to the spirit world. Occultists conjectured that the air was charged with floating images and disembodied spirits, and they set out to prove their claims by documenting episodes of visitations. Photography was the perfect tool conscripted in this effort. Millennial angst, bewildering leaps of science, wildly improbable technological inventions, and ever-decreasing wilderness as human sprawl grows exponentially, make other worlds once again appear possible, even probable, and definitely alluring.
Our escalating desire to prove the existence of another dimension no matter which one is linked to photography, with its history of providing us with our proofs. Seduced by the invisible in the face of the mediums relentless and dull dependence upon the physical, photography as a tool of fact in science , fantasy in spirit photography , and invention in the hands of artists is exploring new frontiers once again.

The show is organized by the Library Gallery and curated by Tom Beck and Cynthia Wayne, in collaboration with the photographer. Throughout his career, Arthur Leipzig has viewed photography as an exciting way to both connect with the world and to separate from it. Photography has helped me to learn much about both. Leipzig, who was born in and came of age in the Depression, left school at the age of seventeen and took on an assortment of jobs, including truck driver, salesman, office manager, and assembly line worker.
While working at a wholesale glass plant, he seriously injured and lost the use of his right hand for fourteen months, an event that propelled Leipzig into photography, beginning with studies at the Photo League and with Sid Grossman. Post College, Long Island University. His fascination with people is so pervasive that individuals almost invariably become icons of humanity in general with all beauties and imperfections clearly delineated. Undoubtedly, his diverse experiences with many different kinds of people have taught him well that humanity is an exquisite source of inspiration for images.
His photographs are almost entirely visceral responses to a chaotic world to which he has sought to provide order and structure. His curiosity appears inexhaustible and keeps sprouting. A book by the same title is being published by Bulfinch Press.
