19TH AND TURN OF THE CENTURY PHOTOGRAPHY


Picture
East Meets West:
​Hand-Tinted Vintage Photographs from Meiji Japan, 1880-1900
This exhibition offers spectacular images of Meiji-era Japan: the landscape, from Mount Fuji to tranquil gardens and wooded paths; the traditional Japanese caste system, from daimyos (feudal lords) to Shinto priests; the pleasure-seeking Floating World, featuring the arts and allurement of geishas; portraits of workers, from jinrikisha (‘rickshaw’) drivers to child acrobats; the all-vital cycle of rice cultivation; daily life, from bustling cities to the rituals of weddings and funerals; and historic monuments, from giant Buddhas to ancient pagodas.

All the major collecting genres of daguerreotype –  landscapes, occupationals, erotic stereos, post-mortems, slavery subjects, and of course portraiture – are represented by superb, often surprising examples in this unique exhibit.

Edward S. Curtis
Mingled Visions: Images from The North American Indian by Edward S. Curtis
By the end of 1903 Edward Curtis knew that his life’s mission involved a systematic recording in photographs and lore of the tribes he believed “still retained a considerable degree of their customs and traditions.” This exhibition of 40 original photogravures provides an overview from the collection of over 700 images in The North American Indian portfolio at the Dubuque Museum of Art
