A retrospective of the photographs of Paul Strand (1890-1976), a major twentieth-century American artist, will be on view in a Special Exhibition at the St. Louis Art Museum from August 10- October 6, 1991.
The exhibition celebrates the centennial of the artist’s birth with 150 photographs dating from 1915 until the early 1970’s.
They range from his earliest studies of New York City, made shortly before World War I, to his studies of nature, landscape, people, and architecture made in such diverse locales as Mexico, Nova Scotia, the Hebrides, Italy, Egypt, New England, New Mexico, and finally to his last images in his garden in Orgeval, France. Strand wrote that through his photographs he strove to reveal “the essential character of a place and its people.” Strand described his work as an attempt to show “what is healthy and growing in society…stories of human victories, however small, in the struggle for social health and well-being.” In his photography and in his work as a cinematographer, his art often expressed social concerns. Sarah Greenough, who is curator of photographs at the National gallery of Art, selected the works for the show.
She says of Paul Strand, “Unlike so many other American artists of this time, Strand did not simply adopt the look of modern European art, but was able to transform it into something that was both uniquely his own and also distinctly American.” Sarah Greenough is scheduled to attend the press preview on August 9 and will speak at the Museum on September 29 at 2:30 p.m.
She also wrote the exhibition catalog, which is available in the Museum Shop.
The exhibition was organized by the National Gallery of Art in Washington. D.C., and is made possible by a grant from Southwestern Bell Foundation. Additional financial assistance was provided by the Missouri Arts Council, a state agency.
