Spirit into Matter: The Photographs of Edmund Teske
June 15–September 26, 2004
Edmund Teske (American, 1911-1996) is one of the unheralded alchemists of 20th-century photography. Over a 60-year period Teske created a diverse and influential body of work. From his origins as a social documentarian, he went on to create richly evocative figure studies, rhapsodies on nature, views of Frank Lloyd Wright architecture, studies in abstraction, and portraits of Hollywood actors and musicians.
