Looking at Family: Photographs from the Collection

Looking at Family: Photographs from the Collection

April 16–July 11, 2021

Artists often find inspiration close to home. This exhibition, pulled from the Dayton Art Institute’s photography collection, presents a range of artworks in which artists analyze concepts of family, love and relationships, many of whom used family members and close friends as their muses and models. Artists included are Harry Callahan, Emmet Gowin, Sally Mann, Jane Reece, Edward Weston and a recent acquisition of an image by Dayton photographer Amy Powell, among others.

Featured Image: Amy Powell, There is no danger here, 2008, from the series Erica & I, archival inkjet print from medium format color film negative, printed 2010. Museum purchase with funds provided by The Kettering Fund, 2019.34
