Capturing the Moment: Photographs from the Marie Brenner and Ernest Pomerantz Collection

Capturing the Moment celebrates a major gift of over five hundred photographs from collectors Marie Brenner and Ernest Pomerantz and features approximately seventy primarily black-and-white photographs and a selection of films. The exhibition will be divided into three sections: people; war and conflict; and landscapes (rural and urban). It will explore key practices such as straight, street, documentary, and photojournalist photography and highlight the technological advancements, socio-political upheavals, and cultural influences that motivated the era’s artistic innovation.
