PDNB Gallery marks US semiquincentennial with American photography show

PDNB Gallery in Dallas is celebrating the 250th anniversary of the US Declaration of Independence with an exhibition of American photography. The show draws from the gallery's stable and archives, featuring works that capture the nation's culture and landscape. Highlights include Edward Curtis's early 20th-century documentation of The North American Indian, funded by JP Morgan in 1906, and Alfred Stieglitz's influential publication Camera Work, which helped elevate photography as an art form. Photography, invented in 1826, is presented as the ideal medium for this exploration.
