LOS ANGELES, CA.- The J. Paul Getty Museum

presents In Focus: Still Life, a survey of some of the innovative ways
photographers have explored and refreshed this traditional genre, on
view at the
Getty Center in the Center for Photographs from September 14,
2010–January 23,
2011. “Still life photography has served as both a conventional and an
experimental form during periods of significant aesthetic and
technological
change,” said Paul Martineau, assistant curator, Department of
Photographs, the
J. Paul Getty Museum, and curator of the exhibition. “One of our goals
for the
exhibition was to show how still life photographs can be both
traditional and
surprising.”
