FINAL DAYS AT THE PRINCETON UNIVERSITY ART MUSEUM

Starburst: Color Photography in America 1970-1980 WHEN: through September 26, 2010 WHERE: Princeton University Art Museum, on the campus in Princeton If you haven't had a chance to visit yet, you won't want to miss the final days of Starburst: Color Photography in America 1970-1980, the first historical survey of "The New Color Photography." Even as artists returned to some of photography's most deeply rooted themes at the turn of the decade, their return came dressed in color—and the medium as we know it today was born. Kevin Moore, curator of Starburst, will talk about the exhibition on Thursday, September 23, at 4:30 PM in McCormick 101. John Pfahl, American, born 1939. Six Oranges, Delaware Park, Buffalo, New York, 1975; portfolio 1980. Dye transfer print © John Pfahl, Courtesy Janet Borden, Inc., New York

A Must-See in the Museum

Among the most beloved works of French Impressionism, Claude Monet's Water Lilies and Japanese Bridge is known to many regular visitors, but with new students freshly arrived on campus, the Art Museum is proud to reintroduce this great masterpiece of European art. Newly installed in their nineteenth-century galleries, Monet's representation of his gardens at Giverny has never looked better. Claude Monet, French, 1840-1926.
