3 Great Ways to Enjoy Art-tober with WRR

Amon Carter Museum

Dallas Museum of Art

Meadows MuseumThe aesthetic of fine art meets the sentiment

of environmental activism this fall at the Amon CarterMuseum in a special exhibition that explores the dramaand power of landscape photography as seen throughthe lenses of two of the art form’s most important colorartists. “Regarding the Land: Robert Glenn Ketchumand the Legacy of Eliot Porter” presented exclusively atthe Carter, offers a rare opportunity to see the work ofthese two internationally renowned fine art photogra-phers who also played key roles in focusing publicattention on environmental issues.

Eliot Porter (1901–1990) set the standard forcolor landscape photography in the 1950s and 1960swith lushly hued and delicately balanced close–ups ofnature. Inspired by Porter’s work, Robert GlennKetchum (b. 1947) took up color landscape photogra-phy in the early 1970s.
