(4)George Eastman House　“Seeing Ourselves”    through January 2010

Seeing Ourselves will introduce American audiences to historical and contemporary photographic masterpieces that were previously unknown to them, or familiar only as reproductions. The exhibition will be organized in broad and accessible subject-based groupings that represent more than 150 years of excellence. The groupings reflect the ways contemporary viewers know photography, thus linking their understanding of the present to the practices of the past. Seeing Ourselves gives broad public exposure and accessible context to the impact of photography on our nation.
