Last week, Dr. Steve Holescher presented a keynote lecture at the Boca Raton Museum of Art’s new exhibition of the photographs of Elliott Erwitt. Dr. Hoelscher also wrote the exhibition catalogue for the Erwitt show, which you can check out here.

The following information on the photographer and exhibition comes to us from the Boca Raton Museum of Art:

Elliott Erwitt is a renowned documentary photographer who melds substance and enchantment into his work. This exhibition features over 80 images hand selected by the artist himself.Born in Paris, Erwitt and his family fled Europe for the United States at the onset of World War II. Iconic images by Mr. Erwitt include John F. Kennedy, Che Guevara, and Marilyn Monroe with the skirt of her white dress wafting around her legs as she posed over a New York City subway grate. His spectacular sense of humor and joy is evident in his work that captures quotidian life in urban surroundings.
