UTICA — The intriguing exhibition “Modern Women | Modern Vision: Photographs from the Bank of America Collection,” is on view through Sunday, Jan. 12 at the Munson Museum of Art, 310 Genesee St. “Modern Women | Modern Vision” highlights the bank’s renowned collection of more than 80 images created exclusively by women artists spanning much of the last century to the present. The exhibition has been well received by museum visitors, receiving comments including “fabulous collection,” “informative and impactful,” and “left me wanting more!” This exhibition has been loaned through the Bank of America Art in our Communities program. Diverse in style, tone, and subject, these legendary images range from spontaneous to composed as well as monumental to intimate in scale. “Modern Women” reveals the bold and dynamic ways women artists have contributed to the development and evolution of photography in the face of discrimination by critics and consumers alike. “I am delighted the Museum of Art was able to share this meaningful exhibition with our visitors,” said Mary Murray, curator of modern and contemporary art at Munson. “It has been the best balance between familiar — even iconic — images by pioneers of photography and thought-provoking, beautiful work by the generations who followed.” “Art and cultural institutions like Munson play a vital role in fostering connection and creativity in Central New York,” said Michael Brunner, president of the Bank of America Central New York. “We look forward to continuing to partner with local museums and cultural institutions as we create new experiences and share important works of art through the Art in Our Communities program.” Female photographers have played a vital role in framing the modern experience through the lens of the camera. They have embraced the art form from its introduction in 1839 through the technological developments of the early 1900s and have used their perspective to produce extraordinary views of the world around them. Women have negotiated waves of social, political, and economic change, increasingly leveraging the camera as a means of creativity, financial independence, and personal freedom. “In this exhibition, there are portraits of people from all walks of life that enable us to see and understand humanity,” Murray said. “Landscapes are framed to underscore our footprint on the earth. Several artists have staged images to unveil the creative artifice of the medium and to reveal how biases are shaped because of photography.” Disrupting the longstanding constraints placed on women’s social behavior and gender roles, early trailblazers helped establish photography as a vital form of creative expression. They also laid the groundwork and served as role models for subsequent generations of artists. The exhibition unfolds through a closer look at six themes within the collection: Modernist Innovators; Documentary Photography and the New Deal; The Photo League; Modern Masters; Exploring the Environment; and The Global Contemporary Lens. Familiar works by Margaret Bourke-White, Imogen Cunningham, Cindy Sherman, and Carrie Mae Weems, as well as iconic portraits by Dorothea Lange and Diane Arbus; street photography by Ruth Orkin and Helen Levitt; and edgy appropriation photo-collages by Barbara Kruger combine to tell a dynamic story of the 20th century in a display rich in history, beauty, poignancy, and power.Trump's sudden fixation on Panama may be tied to his shady businessJamie Foxx Pressing Charges, How Was Jamie Foxx's Birthday Ruined?
