Standing Still - Studio Portraits from the Upper Peninsula Reception
Join us on October 10, 2024, at 6 PM for an engaging talk with the artist, Jack Deo, followed by a reception.
This historic photographic exhibition features local legends, friends, neighbors, and everyday heroes of the past. Gestures, expressions, clothing, props, and backdrops reveal rich narratives about the subjects, photographers, and the times. The portraits were taken in Upper Peninsula photo studios between 1890 and 1910 by photographers including Charles Cole and Brainard F. Childs at Childs Art Gallery in Marquette and Ishpeming; John William Nara at Nara Studio in Calumet; Gustav A. Werner at Werner Studio in Marquette and Ishpeming, and Theodore Sexton at Sexton Studio in Garden.
