Abelardo Morell, "Rapidly Moving Clouds over Field, Flatford, England, #1," 2017
October 7, 2020 at 6pm
Artist Abelardo Morell's work has quite literally been a reflection of nature, often using glass, lenses, and mirrors to make abstractions of his subject matter. Perhaps best known for his use of a camera obscura, he layers landscapes, surfaces, and architecture to create disorienting photographs that are in fact recordings of what was in front of (or in) the camera. Join the George Eastman Museum for the start of our Wish You Were Here series as Morell discusses a range of his projects throughout his extensive career, including After Constable, which is featured in GEM's current exhibition "Gathering Clouds: Photographs from the Nineteenth Century and Today."
