River of Shadows: Eadweard Muybridge and the Technological Wild West
At last----a place for art and book lovers to meet, discuss books and enjoy art. Join us for a great summer read in conjunction with
Re-Considering the Photographic Masterpiece.
Bring a friend!
Books may be purchase at the Art Museum's Book Shelf, Bookworks or Page One (discount for book club).
"River of Shadows is never less than deeply intelligent, and often very close to inspired. It belongs to that wondrous class of books…in which an extraordinary mind seizes hold of an unexpected topic and renders it with such confidence, subtlety and grace that one finds it hard to remember what things looked like before the book appeared in the world.”
-Jim Lewis, The New York Times Book Review
