Join us for an exclusive, members-only online event with the curators of Life Magazine and the Power of Photography, who will discuss the role photography played in the weekly magazine during the years leading up to its final issue in December 1972. Focusing on Life’s last decade, this talk will look specifically at how the magazine portrayed some of the tumultuous events on the 1960s, including the civil rights movement, the assassination of President Kennedy, the Vietnam War, and the 1969 moon landing.
Presenters include:
Katherine Bussard, Peter C. Bunnell Curator of Photography, Princeton University Art Museum
Kristen Gresh, Estrellita and Yousuf Karsh Senior Curator of Photographs, Museum of Fine Arts, Boston
