ARTH 3823 California Modernist Photography
This course explores the highly influential Group f.64 and the early 20th century movement of California Modernist photography. In August 1932 a small group of photographers gathered in an Oakland, California studio to discuss the modern movement in photography. Amongst this group of photographic purists were the two future icons of photography - Edward Weston and Ansel Adams. One of the highlights of this course will be an opportunity to view the Dominican University Ansel Adams archive as well as a field trip to a local museum.
