[Leica] Exhibit of Yosemite Pictures and Art in LA

[red735i at earthlink.net (Frank Filippone)]

We just got back from a really terrific exhibit at the Autry National Center 
( Cowboy Museum aka Southwest Museum of the American
Indian)  ) just opposite the Main entrance of the LA Zoo.

See   http://www.autrynationalcenter.org/

There were pictures there from Watkins, Muybridge, AA, Weston, Coburn, Alma 
Lavenson, Caponigro and others.

Given the short time frame that pictures were made ( 1850, or about 150 
years ), it is very interesting to see the diverse ways the
same material is shown.

BTW, this was the first time I saw AA and Weston take the same material and 
their treatment, side by side.  As AA was the Master of
the Grand Scenic, Edward is the Master of  intimate scene.

I forget all the Art, but it included some of the first charcoals, oils, and 
water images.  

Don't miss it... it is a traveling exhibit... so look at the Autry Center 
for more info...

Yes, Gene Autry, as in Horses, Cowboys and Indians.....and crooners.....
