About

Photography has had a tumultuous relationship with color since its invention. Early photographers employed colorists to tint images with surrogacy for the missing color; inconsistent color sensitivity affected the way objects were depicted even in monochromes. Fleeting and erratic color dyes shifted C-prints in a matter of decades, or even years. Color Shift draws from the California Museum of Photography's extensive collection to explore the many ways in which we encounter color in photography, from the added to the actual. 

Thank you to our sponsors: UCR College of Humanities, Arts, and Social Sciences, and the City of Riverside.
