A Conversation with Fine Arts Photographer Joel Sternfeld from the galleries of the Amon Carter Museum, October 30 at 12:00pm
Middle and high school Art, Environmental Science, Human Geography, and Humanities students will interact with contemporary photographer Joel Sternfeld as he discusses from the galleries of the Amon Carter Museum his career, subject matter, photographic processes, and the stories which relate to his photographs. Sternfeld is best known for his large-format, color documentary pictures of the United States which are represented in the Carter’s photography collection. Among his many publications, American Prospects (1987) is Sternfeld's most known book and explores the irony of human-altered landscapes in the United States. Another book, On This Site: Landscape in Memoriam (1997), is about violence in America. His most recent book, When It Changed, contains close-up portraits of delegates debating global warming at a United Nations conference in Montreal. Here is a link to a biography of Joel Sternfeld from the Getty.
