Because of her strong University of Michigan affiliation, Mary Alice Palm-Leonard joked that she was not sure that she should ride the Spartan cab to the Kresge Art Museum. I told her that I would take her picture and post it on the Internet.

Yousuf Karsh Photographs &
The Worker's Landscape
February 22, 2007
As part of the LAND conference, on Thursday evening there is typically a field trip followed by a nice dinner at a local restaurant.
This year’s field trip was to the Kresge Art Museum where we will able to view two exhibits. One was of photographs taken by Yousuf Karsh. Although I was familiar with some of Karsh’s photographs, I was not really familiar with him. I particularly like Karsh’s use of lighting.
The Workers’ Landscape: American Images, 1900-1950 began with depression era photographs. This is the section on which the tour guide focused and on which I was most familiar. Therefore, I wondered around that portion of the exhibit to view artists with whom I was less familiar.
