'This seminar explores the careers of two towering figures in the history of photography. Although they were contemporaries, Evans and Cartier-Bresson developed ideas about camerawork that couldn't have been more different. Among other topics, we will explore the tensions between art, documentary, and photojournalism; street photography; the vernacular; the 'decisive moment,' and more.'
This course is open to Juniors and Seniors. Prereq: One 200-level course in Art History
