Carleton Watkins was a carpenter from upstate New York who traveled to California during the Gold Rush and became the most accomplished American landscape photographer of the 19th century. Douglas Nickel, one of the leading historians of photography, organized a retrospective of Watkins’ career for San Francisco Museum of Modern Art; it traveled to the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York and the National Gallery of Art in Washington, D.C. Nickel has also organized traveling exhibitions devoted to Ansel Adams, Lewis Carroll and snapshot photography and published extensively. Prior to his appointment at Brown he was director of the Center for Creative Photography in Tucson and curator of photography at the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art.
Lecture sponsored by the Virgil and Juwil Topazio Fund.
