Primarily comprised of Schutmaat’s portfolios made across central Texas: County Road and Good Goddamn, along with prints from Vessels and the award-winning Grays the Mountain Sends, the exhibition celebrates the artist’s uniquely honest and poetic visual stories from the American West.
About
The installation "RIVER SUN" will occupy both exhibition spaces while the gallery's library will again function as an ancillary space for generational dialogue with vintage prints on view by Robert Adams, Aaron Siskind, John Szarkowski, Walker Evans and Lawrence McFarland.
As the recipient of a John Simon Guggenheim Memorial Fellowship (2020), an Aaron Siskind Fellowship, and the Aperture Portfolio Prize, Bryan Schutmaat (b. 1983) is regarded as one of America’s preeminent photographers working today. Through his projects ranging from contemporary documentary, narrative and formal portraiture, a consistently powerful yet delicately rendered aesthetic persists. A majority of his photographs are executed with the patient approach of large-format, analog film resulting in both an intense clarity and a timeless, nuanced study of his subjects.
