Annie Leibovitz: A Photographer's Life 1990-2005
The Facade of the Corcoran This morning I saw a marvelous exhibit at the Corcoran Gallery of Art that is located on 17th Street NW near the White House. It was Annie Leibovitz: A Photographer's Life 1990-2005. Here is a description of the exhibit from the museum brochure:
From the very beginning of her career, Annie Leibovitz has redefined the modern celebrity portrait, altering the way we think about the people who populate our cultural landscape.
The exhibit includes more than 200 photographs. They show some of her well-known celebrity portraits as well as images of her own family and close friends. She emphasizes that she has one life, that her personal and her professional photographs are all part of this one life.
The photographs are stunning. I truly loved so many of them. One of my favorites was of a handsome, young Clinton in the Oval Office in 1992.
Here I am just before going into the Corcoran to see the exhibit.
