Energizing Paris After Cubism
Jennifer M. Friess, Associate Curator of Photography, University of Michigan Museum of Art, will discuss how electric light energized a new and experimental era of photographic image-making in Paris after the First World War. Although painters and printmakers had been representing scenes illuminated by electric light as early as the 1870s, photographers only started to do so in earnest after the First World War. Featuring photographs, prints, and drawings from the exhibition After Cubism: Modern Art in Paris, 1918–1948.
