The Tampa Museum of Art’s popular midday program will continue online. Joanna Robotham, Curator of Modern and Contemporary Art, investigates the role of women in photography in this virtual tour. Explore work from the exhibition Modern Women: Modern Vision, Works from the Bank of America Collection.
Since photography’s inception in the mid-nineteenth century, women have stood among its artistic and technological pioneers. Modern Women: Modern Vision features 100 works from the Bank of America Collection by leading artists of the twentieth and early twenty-first centuries. The exhibition is organized in six thematic sections: Modernist Innovators, Documentary Photography and the New Deal, Photo League, Modern Masters, Exploring the Environment, and The Global Contemporary Lens. Each section examines the photographers’ role in forging new directions and methods in photography, as well as how the medium has evolved with the advent of new digital and studio practices.
