Poetry of the Industrial and Rural Landscape
Corpora Art Gallery
Lehigh Valley Charter High School for the Arts
321 East 3rd Street, Bethlehem, PA
Twenty black and white photographs capture tranquil and contemplative scenes from the greater Lehigh Valley. Among the small group of talented artists still devoted to traditional photographic methods, Carol Front and David Haas for decades have paid tribute to the history and beauty of rural and industrial scenery of the greater Lehigh Valley and beyond. Although Haas has printed Front’s photographs for many years, while sharing an affinity for evocative and historical imagery, these gifted artists have never before exhibited together. Dr. Christine I. Oaklander is guest curator for the exhibition.
Exhibit runs October 21- November 21
