      In this series Lisa Hostetler, McEvoy Family Curator for Photography, discusses the exhibition Landscapes in Passing: Photographs by Steve Fitch, Robbert Flick, and Elaine Mayes.  

      This episode looks at the work of Robbert Flick. Landscapes in Passing: Photographs by Steve Fitch, Robbert Flick, and Elaine Mayes (July 26, 2013 -- January 20, 2014) presents forty-eight photographs that depict the American landscape in passing, as drive-through scenery rather than the entrancing wilderness of the nineteenth century.

      July 25, 2013February 23, 2014
      The American landscape has inspired generations of artists, but the 48 photographs in this presentation— by Steve Fitch, Robbert Flick and Elaine Mayes— are a far cry from traditional representations of the subject.
