Drawn with Light: Pioneering French Photography from the Cleveland Museum of Art
February 26 - June 8, 2005
Admission to this exhibition is free.

The Cleveland Museum of Art will present Drawn with Light: French Photography from the Cleveland Museum of Art, selections from the museum's holdings in this area, which has impressively expanded during the past 15 years. The desire to represent reality had long been a strong impulse in Western art. With the invention of photography in 1839, this new mechanical means provided for an unprecedented level of exactitude.

The show surveys through 30 works by such pictorially inventive and technically accomplished 19th- and early 20th-century photographers as Édouard Baldus, Gustave Le Gray, Henri Le Secq, Nadar (Gaspard-Féliz Tournachon), Charles Marville, Louis Robert, and Eugène Atget. They turned their cameras to record reality--common and everyday, natural and constructed.
