Role Reversal: How Painting and Photography Switched Roles in the 20th Century

Event Description

Join Ruth Grim, Chief Curator/Gary R. Libby Curator of Art, in the Root Family Auditorium as she delivers a presentation on the interaction of painting and photography since its broad introduction to the public in 1839. From that point on, painters began to change how they created images, and photographers gradually became more "arty." But this was not the end of the dance between painting and photography as their intertwined history is discussed in this presentation. 

Admission: Free for members or with paid museum admission.
