| Lewis Hine |
OCTOBER 4–JANUARY 19, 2014
"In his hands, the camera would serve
to reveal with quasi-scientific objectivity the circumstances of various
understudied populations. His pictures often are aesthetically
compelling, and his portraits of individuals are especially vivid both
visually and emotionally."
— The New York Times
Lewis Hine (1874–1940) is widely recognized as an American original
whose work has been cited as a precursor to modernist and documentary
photography. While certain of Hine's photographic projects—such as on
immigration, child labor, New York City, and the building of the Empire
State Building—are well known, few exhibitions have considered his
entire life's work. The aim of Lewis Hine is to provide a broad
overview of his photographic career, using supplementary material to
situate the photographs in the contexts of their original consumption
while providing a platform for reconsidering the work today—both
historically and artistically. The exhibition includes Hine's earliest
work from Ellis Island (1905) and extensive selections from every major
project that followed, including "Hull House," "American Red Cross in
Europe," and "Men at Work." The exhibition is curated by Alison
Nordström, Curator-at-Large at George Eastman House International Museum
of Photography and Film, which holds the largest and most comprehensive
archive of Hine's work.
