See the Light

Santa Barbara Museum of Art is accentuating the negative!

Its latest exhibition, Brought To Light, highlights more than 100 photos by a dozen artists from the museum’s extensive and growing collection.

A show within the show, Crosscurrents: American and European Portrait Photographs – 1840-1900, reflects how portraiture blossomed in the last six decades of the 19th century.

Another Crosscurrents exhibit, The Painted Portrait in America, Britain and France 1750-1850, explores portraitists from the Colonial period through the Industrial Revolution.

A sight for many eyes.
