Monroe Gallery of Photography, 112 Don Gaspar, is pleased to announce “Life In Winter”, an imaginative survey of inspiring images that reveal moments in history and the unseen and unexpected layers of our world in winter. The exhibition opens with a reception on Friday, November 25, from 5 to 7 PM. “Life In Winter” will continue through January 21, 2018.
Winter is not an easy place to work as a photographer, but often the material is significant, especially for photojournalists documenting events for history. Photographs in the exhibit include images of the Russo-Finnish War of 1939, harsh winter conditions in the northern Soviet Union captured during its collapse in the early 1990’s, protests of the Standing Rock pipeline construction during the winter of 2016, leisure activities at the luxury resort of St. Moritz in the early 1900s, several ice-skating scenes including Truman Capote at New York’s famed Rockefeller Plaza rink in 1959, photographs of the grim winter conditions during World War II, tranquil snow scenes of the American West; and elegant cityscapes in snow. n
