About the Book
This exhibit, curated by Presidential Research Scholar and Jewel Birdsong Curatorial Scholarship recipient Sara Straussberger, features images from the Jim and Nan Robertson Photography Collection that were selected to showcase the wide range of subject matter and formal qualities of the photographs. The subject matter ranges from undulating shapes of sand dunes to the contours of the human figure to rich architectural surfaces. The formal qualities include: visual textures, such as peeling paint to smooth metal silos, both visual and implied line, strong value ranges, and crisp print quality.
