They feature portraits of such celebrities as John Wayne, Liza Minnelli, Sting, Mick Jagger, Jack Nicholson, Sylvester Stallone, Grace Jones and Dennis Hopper. Also included are Warhol’s famous self-portraits.

Picturing a New Society: Photographs from the Soviet Union 1920s–1980s
April 14 through August 19, 2012
This exhibition explores contradictions between idealistic images and life in the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics (USSR). Photography was a key tool to promote party goals both internally and abroad, but did not always reflect reality. The photographs in Picturing a New Society describe virtues for a society that often existed only within pictures. Agriculture and rural areas, industry, the military, and the youth of the USSR were cornerstones of Soviet narratives of progress, and are represented in this exhibition. Photographers include Alexander Ustinov, Max Alpert, Emanuel Evzerikhin, and Georgi Zelma, among others. Photographs like these are rare: to Soviet photographers, images were tools to inform and influence the public, therefore many were discarded after their message was disseminated.
Picturing a New Society is drawn from recent donations of over 200 Soviet photographs by Howard Schickler and Janice Tuckwood. These remarkable photographs, the first of their kind added to the collection, bring new depth to the MFA’s photography holdings.
Ongoing
In conjunction with the 23rd Daguerreian Society Annual Symposium to be held in St. Petersburg October 27-30, this exhibition features some 60 nineteenth-century daguerreotypes, ambrotypes, and tintypes. It addresses several facets of the public’s insatiable appetite for portraits of loved ones and strangers alike. Flawless artistic and studio portraits will be on view. Highlights include a rare portrait of James Cutting, the inventor of the ambrotype, by Mathew Brady and a pair of important full-plate daguerreotype portraits by Southworth and Hawes on loan from The Dandrew-Drapkin Collection
Digital Images for the group should be jpeg files 1024x768 at 100ppi files names should be initials, month,year, title example (jim_swallow_treeballet_0411.jpg). You may also bring prints that are matted image area should be at least 8x10

Sherry Williamson and Patti Krumeich
are having a show
For May
A “meet the artist” reception will be held Thursday, May 3, from 6-9pm
at the library, located at 4125 East Lake Road , Palm Harbor , FL.
Three talented local photographers, Patti Krumeich, Sherry Williamson and Susan Knodle will be displaying their photographic art for the month of May at the East Lake Library in Palm Harbor .
A variety of themes and photographic techniques will be displayed.
Sherry’s love of nature and travel are reflected in her work. She also enjoys creating regional and urban work extending throughout Florida . Her works include photographic prints on canvas media.
Nature, wildlife and scenery are where Patti’s photographic passion revolves. She attempts to capture the “spirit” of her subjects and does so using digital painting methods. This gives her photos an artistic digital effect.
Susan’s favorite type of photography is HDR, short for high dynamic range. This produces a different “look and feel” and makes the colors vivid while accenting small details within a photo.
