October 26, 2006 Staff ARTISTS USUALLY sp=
end
their time looking out at the world. Here's your chance to look at them
during "Artists Looking at Artists" at the Museum of Contempora=
ry
Art of Georgia, where you'll find a gallery full of artist portraits. =
One
gallery is devoted to black-and-white photographs by Jerry Siegel, who has
captured Southern artists in this region for many years. It has been said
that a camera is a passport to places one wouldn't ordinarily go. In Sieg=
el's
case, it was an entree to the worlds of artists he admired, a way to get =
to
know them and learn more about their work. While he shot many formal phot=
os
of artists in their studios, others pictures capture them in unguarded
moments. =
Ten
members of the Atlanta Photography Group, all =
Both in
color and black-and-white, most are posed, some are even staged and others
are digitally manipulated. They tell us something about the shooter as we=
ll
as the subject. =
•
THE 411: "Artists Looking at Artists." 10 a.m.-5 p.m.
Tuesdays-Saturdays. Through Nov. 25. = Much like a camera itself, the exhibit "Artists Looking at Artists" = is a passport to places -- and people such as Cuban artist Mario Petrirena -- generally unfamiliar to us.
