RE-VIEWING DOCUMENTARY:
THE PHOTOGRAPHIC LIFE OF LOUISE ROSSKAM
American University Museum at the Katzen
September 3 through December 14, 2011
This major retrospective examines the work of Louise Rosskam (1910-2003), an elusive pioneer of the golden age of American documentary photography. It highlights her compelling photographs of Southwest Washington, DC, neighborhoods before their destruction for urban renewal as well as her images of Puerto Rico, as it developed from a poor US possession to an industrialized commonwealth whose political status remains a contested issue. Guest curated by James Madison University Professor Laura Katzman and Library of Congress Curator Beverly W. Brannan.See the webshort: A Life in Photography: Louise Rosskam
