Course Description

Summary

This intermediate/advanced course will explore the life and work of the American photographer Laura Gilpin, (1891-1979), and culminate in a class-curated exhibition in Usdan Gallery. Her work will be situated within the context of 20th century photography movements of the Photo Secessionists, Pictorialism, and Modernism. Students will also learn the platinum/palladium process of creating photographs on hand-sensitized fine art papers, a darkroom process that Gilpin used throughout her career.
