LINCOLN, NE.- Sheldon Museum of Art at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln presents "Exposures of Landscape and Life: Photographs from the Permanent Collection" now through May 17.
The exhibition includes photographs by artists who through their work and teachings have influenced the three contemporary photographers -- Arno Minkkinen, Hans Eijkelboom and Edward Burtynsky -- whose artworks are on view in the museum's current exhibition, "Evolving Eden: Three Photographic Perspectives."
Artists with works on view in "Exposures of Landscape and Life" include: Margaret Bourke-White, Ansel Adams, Edward Weston, Robert Adams, Frank Gohlke, Lewis Baltz, Emmet Gowin, Richard Misrach, Ed Ruscha, Lorna Simpson, Aaron Siskind, Cindy Sherman, Robert Mapplethorpe and Tseng Kwong Chi.
