Before The Shift

Alex Webb, Martin Parr, Lynne Cohen 

and Stephen Shore @ Stephen Daiter

Alex Webb, Mexican Border, 1978

The real world was always in color. Around 1830 early photography showed it in glorious black and white. Color, when it showed up, came haltingly, experimentally and finally triumphantly. Today, many of the biggest names in photography are best known for their color artworks.

Before The Shift sees the coming together of early black and white works from the 1970's by four modern master; Alex Webb, Martin Parr, Lynne Cohen and Stephen Shore. Each artist has undergone a paradigm shift in moving from black and white to color in creating their later mature artistic career statements.
