Photography plays a crucial role in documenting the history of the American West. The differences between professional photographers work and that seen in snapshots is the topic of this lecture by Robert Jackson. His breathtaking collection of American snapshots was the topic of a major exhibition at the National Gallery of Art in Washington, DC in 2007 and marks a turning point in the historical and artistic appreciation of this photographic genre. Join us for an evening with one of America’s most respected collectors and interpreters of the snapshot.
