Title: Worth the trip ... re: Art and Photography/ Majesty of early Photography
Post by: Patricia Sheley on January 24, 2017, 05:00:45 pm

Tucked away in a bucolic corner of New England (Williamstown, MA) is the wonderful Clark Art Institute. Always one of my favorite drives to sit with Turners from time to time. But now this surprise! Little has tempted me to leave the island since I moved here, but this does the trick...

Nobody will believe any of this, Patricia: there was no photography prior to digital; everybody knows that.

My wife gets to our New Yorker before I do and she just pointed this show out to me. We will be making the trek out to Williamstown sometime this winter to see it (and the Turners).

We have been to the new Clark, and the building is exactly as Menand describes. But the shows there are excellent and worth the trip.

P.S. to Rob: Digital? What's that?
