People and Places 1873–2000: A Selection of Photographs from DOMA's Collection

February 20 – May 24, 2025

Guest curator: Ronn Brown

Born in Portland, Indiana, Ronn Brown followed a career path as a photographer for the television and film industry to Hollywood, California. This exhibition displays images from the history of photography that focus on capturing the subject’s personality through gesture, facial expression, and setting. Featured photographers include Margaret Bourke-White, Imogen Cunningham, Lotte Jacobi, Philippe Halsman, and John Coplans. Brown’s selections not only indicate the impact that these photographers had on his work, but also provide a new generation of student photographers, videographers, and artists—as well as the general public—with a catalyst for creativity.
