Inside Look: Selected Acquisitions from the Georgia Museum of Art
Georgia Museum of Art, University of Georgia
Featuring work by: Lewis Morley, Milton Rogovin, Arthur Tress
With more than 18,000 objects in its collection, the museum cannot show everything all the time. This exhibition features many previously unseen works of art, including new gifts and purchases across our curatorial departments that have filled critical gaps in the permanent collections. Photographs of celebrity culture and everyday life in 1960s England by Lewis Morley and scenes of the resilient communities of Appalachia by photographers Milton Rogovin and Arthur Tress make up a significant part of the exhibition.
Artful Conversation programs are 30 minutes long, focus on one or a few works of art and provide opportunities for close looking, open-ended dialogue and discovery. This one focuses on a selection of photographs by Arthur Tress, from the exhibition “Inside Look: Selected Acquisitions from the Georgia Museum of Art,” with Sage Kincaid, associate curator of education.
