Depth of Field: The Corporate Creation of Photojournalism and the Photography of Margaret Bourke-White

Inspired by the exhibition In Body and Soul: The Figure in Modernist Photography join us for a virtual lecture by State University of New York New Paltz Lecturer Beth E. Wilson. Through the work of intrepid photographer Margaret Bourke-White, Wilson will discuss the role of Life Magazine in inventing the photojournalist as a romantic ideal and cultural phenomenon during World War II. This event is a part of a three part lecture series where scholars from across the country will put contributions of the lensmen and lenswomen who defined photography in the 20th century into bold, new contexts. This event will take place on Zoom. Registrants will receive the link to the Zoom webinar one day prior to the event. $10 Members | $15 Non-Members | $5 Students/ Faculty with Valid ID *A 3% credit card fee will apply.*
