<I>Photographers in the exhibition include: Berenice Abbott, Eve Arnold,

Margaret Bourke-White, Esther Bubbly, Vivian Cherry, Martha Holmes, Dorothea

Lange, Lisa Larsen, Nina Leen, Hansel Mieth, Ruth Orkin, Marion Post Wolcott,

and Ida Wyman. Images in the exhibition include the major events of the 20th

Century, such as the Depression, displaced farm families, migrant workers, and

World War II. Also featured are photographs of the glamour of movie stars, the

wonders of nature, the coronation of kings, politicians, and presidents,

significant artists of the time, and everyday human interest stories. The

significance and impact of these photographers can not be underestimated. Their

work and lives pioneered, and came to define, the medium of photojournalism, and

their photographs recorded history and informed us all for most of the 20th

Century. </I><P><P>Ellis Vener [news editor applicant]

It's a wonderful collection. I stopped by a couple of weekends ago - they've always got great work up on their walls.
