artistic and thought leaders of 20th Century photography.
Masters of Photography
They are Masters of Photography, whose works establish the core of many great collections. The excellence of their images have challenged viewers, stimulated debate and advanced the role of photography in the 21st Century.
These prints from the cameras of twenty different photographers include iconic images from the artists’ larger bodies of work. From California to New York … from Paris to Uzbekistan … they span a spectrum of themes: including urban structures, traditional landscape, portraiture, abstractions and social commentary.

Cathy Fox of ArtsAtl posted a review of the exhibition entitled:
A primer of the “Masters of Photography,” Lumière show is a feast of classics in black and white
Read the entire review on the ArtsATL web page.
Excerpt:
“A relatively young, and forward-looking, medium, photography nevertheless has a glorious past. What better way to inaugurate a month-long spree (Atlanta Celebrates Photography) than by communing with the discipline’s modern matriarchs and patriarchs? – Masters of Photography, at Lumière through December, is just the ticket. The exhibition is chockablock with canonic images of the black-and-white variety.”
