a "must see" exhibition in Toronto

[Frank_E]

this is the most extensive exhibition of well known LF photographers I have every encountered in Toronto

it is a must see if you love photography
closes March 10th

an excerpt from the description

"Embracing both pictures and documents, this exhibition ranges from Henry Fox Talbot to Eugene Atget, from Robert Frank to Ian Wallace and beyond, including particular emphasis on a handful of select modern photographers such as Bill Brandt, Manuel Alvarez Bravo, André Kertész, Man Ray, Aleksandr Rodchenko, and John Vanderpant."

there are also several Edward Weston prints included (and Steichen, and Strand and Evans....). I could go on and on about the various images I have read about and now had the chance to see in person such as Strand's "Blind"....

WOW
An unbelievable collection of prints that make you feel you are inside a photo history book; the steerage, the blind woman, Pencil of Nature, even, to my pleasure, a Margaret Watkins and 100's of others
FREE
If you are anywhere in range, this is better than anything I have seen in my lifetime. Newhall's first History of Photography exhibit must have been like this.
GO

This is one of the best shows I have seen in Canada. If you can get to it, it is well worth it. Take your camera, the buildings on campus are great, and they dont mind a tripod.
