6/10/2008 - 8/30/2008
In this small grouping selected from a trove of choice photographic images held by the University of Virginia Art Museum, attraction is the essential and often explicit ingredient. As these examples suggest, attraction becomes beauty when it is reciprocated. Some subjects openly court the photographer¹s gaze with their own good looks, while others respond to each other or themselves in situations made for us, strangers they will never know. Included in the exhibition are works by Richard Avedon, Man Ray, Burk Uzzle and William Wylie.
