The George Eastman Museum presents a History of Photography through the immigrant lens
Rochester, N.Y., October 15, 2019—
The George Eastman Museum will open a new rotation in its History of Photography Gallery on October 26, which celebrates contributions by a selection of photographers who immigrated or moved to the United States. Many became naturalized citizens as they recorded their perspectives on an unfamiliar country, and most have become key figures in the history of photography. This installation highlights the fresh vision and pictorial insight brought to America by newcomers. Photographers such as Napoleon Sarony (American, b. Canada, 1821–1896) and José Maria Mora (American, b. Cuba, 1849–1926)
