Exhibit in Brigham City
Traveling display has photos from National Archive
After surveying the millions of photographs in its holding, the National Archives and Records Administration selected 106 works, both in black and white and color, depicting momentous events in the lives of the American people during the 20th century. The images were digitally reproduced and maintain the visual integrity of the original work.
The photographs chronicle such events as immigrants arriving at Ellis Island, the Wright brothers' first flight, Omaha Beach, atomic bomb testing, Vietnam protests and man's first footprints on the moon.
The exhibit includes work from such distinguished photographers as Ansel Adams, Dorothea Lange, Walter Lubken, Lewis Hine, George Ackerman, Charles Fenno Jacobs, Yoichi Okamoto and Danny Lyon. There are also less-familiar images providing surprising glimpses into the history of America.
Some of the images that will be immediately recognizable to exhibit visitors are "Powerhouse Mechanic Working on a Steam Pump," "White Angel Breadline," "Members of the Mochida Family Awaiting Evacuation Bus," "Unloading Dry Farm Wheat" and "Man Working on Hull of U.S. Submarine."
"Picturing the Century" offers viewers considerable breadth and perspective, making the exhibit a must-see.
Local funding for the traveling exhibit was provided by grants from the Utah Arts Council and the National Endowment for Arts. Matching funds were provided by the Marie Eccles Caine Foundation.
