Mid-century photography as art comes alive at Princeton
A Princeton University Art Museum exhibition called Photography as a Way of Life surveys mid-20th‑century photographers such as Minor White, Aaron Siskind and Harry Callahan, showing how their work and teaching helped establish photography as a legitimate art form and academic discipline, with highlights ranging from White’s influence on Aperture to the careers of Ming Smith, Donna-Lee Phillips, Nathan Lyons and others across the 1940s–1970s.
