Augusta, Georgia.- Organized from the Morris Museum of Art’s renowned photography collection, “Local Color: Photography in the South” at the Morris. The exhibition containing more than thirty-five photographs dating from the mid-sixties to the present by some of the South’s most important photographers, including Dave Anderson, John Baeder, William Christenberry, William Eggleston, the late Janos Enyedi, William Greiner, Birney Imes, Greg Kinney, Jim McGuire, and Meryl Truett, remains on view through January 29, 2012. “Local Color brings to public view some of the best photographs held by the Morris and underscores the rich range of aesthetic possibilities within a medium that is often thought to be the purview of amateur photographers. The work of these internationally known photographers has been little-seen here in the past, though their reputations are well established,” said Kevin Grogan, director of the Morris Museum of Art. “Their subjects range from the commonplace—rural landscapes and near-forgotten small towns—to the surreal. The work in this exhibition explores and celebrates the region and speaks to the significance of the visual artist—in fact, all expressive artists, no matter their medium—to Southern culture.”
