'The Figure and the Land' photography exhibit to run through Feb. 8

By David Gonnerman '90
February 8, 2004

This show, in the Flaten Art Museum in Dittmann Center, features the work of photographers Howard Rubenstein, Marguerite Beaty, Abe Ordover and Richard Miller.

Rubenstein's black and white photographs use the deep contrasts of shadows and light in the tradition of Ansel Adams, but with more intimate investigations of land and rock formations. Beaty employs a pin-hole camera to add a mysterious dimension and even movement to the figures she captures in a variety of actions. Ordover captures light on objects in a way that makes the viewer wonder what they are. Miller uses mechanical items, figures, farm vehicles and other devices -- sometimes in conjunction with the land -- to create a humorous or puzzling photograph
