With over eighty works by major nineteenth- and twentieth-century American and European photographers drawn from the Mr. and Mrs. William Knight Zewadski collection of classical themes, An Eye for Antiquity spanned the history of photography from the daguerreotype to the contemporary color print.
Photographs by James Anderson, Brassai, Henri Cartier-Bresson, Evelyn Hofer, Robert McPherson, Edward Steichen, William Henry Fox Talbot, and Ruth Thorne-Thomsen examined issues of artistic inspiration in photography and our relationship to antiquity.
