Oscar G. Rejlander: Artist Photographer
Friday, October 19, 2018 to Sunday, February 3, 2019
Known to posterity as the father of art photography, Oscar Rejlander
remains one of the medium’s unsung heroes. Although he collaborated with
Charles Darwin, and influenced the work of both Julia Margaret Cameron
and Lewis Carroll, this groundbreaking exhibition is the first major
Rejlander retrospective ever produced.
Exploring Rejlander’s
career as painter, photographer and experimental artist, the exhibition
features some 140 works by Rejlander, from landscapes and portraits to
allegories and witty commentaries on contemporary society.
