When: Thursday, June 26, 2014 – Wednesday, September 24, 2014 (All day)

Where: Yale Center for British Art (YCBA)

1080 Chapel St., New Haven, CT 06510
(Location is wheelchair accessible)

Description: This exhibition pairs for the first time works by Paul Caponigro (b. 1932) and Bruce Davidson (b. 1933), two of the most distinguished photographers of their generation. The artistic styles and temperaments of Caponigro and Davidson could not be more different: Davidson is a photojournalist and an exponent of gritty street photography; Caponigro practices a pure, formalist approach to landscape. Yet both are devoted to traditional photographic methods using film and are masters of the dark room, and both produced important bodies of work in Britain and Ireland beginning in the 1960s. This exhibition features approximately 150 photographs by the two artists.
