Peter Bunnell, Princeton University professor emeritus of the history of photography and modern art, has drawn upon the Museum's photography collection to offer visitors a fresh perspective on works by Eugène Atget (1857-1927) and Lee Friedlander (born 1934).
These two great masters share an instinct for abstraction, fragmentation, and a belief in the potential of photographic description, as well as a commitment to examining the social landscape of their own, distinct times. Many of the photographs on view have never before been exhibited in the galleries.
