Photography Exhibition: The Getty Museum - Jo Ann Callis: Woman Twirling

The Getty Museum in Los Angeles, California, regularly has extraordinary photographic exhibitions. Jo Ann Callis: Woman Twirling is no exception.

This exhibition will run through August 9, 2009

Since she emerged in the late 1970s as one of the first important practitioners of the "fabricated photographs" movement, Jo Ann Callis (American, born 1940) has made adventurous contributions in the areas of color photography, sculpture, painting, and digital imagery. For her, photography is another studio tool to be used, along with the sets she creates and the models she directs, to render the sensual tones and textures of fabric and food, or to animate clay figures of her own making. The persistent inventiveness of Callis' work has made her a force in Southern California art and in recent photographic practice.

This exhibition covers a wide range of Ms. Callis’ work.

If you’re in the Los Angeles area through early August, I strongly suggest you take in this terrific exhibition.

As I travel, I love seeing the work of other photographers as I hope you do. If you know of a new photographic exhibition which you think the Blog should publicize, please contact me.
