Born in Portland, Indiana, Ronn Brown followed a career path as a photographer for the television and film industry to Hollywood, California. This exhibition displays images from the history of photography that focus on capturing the subject’s personality through gesture, facial expression, and setting. Featured photographers include
Margaret Bourke-White,
Imogen Cunningham,
Lotte Jacobi,
Philippe Halsman, and
John Coplans. Brown’s selections not only indicate the impact that these photographers had on his work, but also provide a new generation of student photographers, videographers, and artists—as well as the general public—with a catalyst for creativity.
