Wright Morris: The Home Place
24 January – 5 April 2020
Opening Thursday 23 January from 17.30 hrs
“The first thing that stands out about Morris’ photographs is the absence of people. He typically photographed still-lifes of everyday objects that exuded an atmosphere of poverty and decline. Abandoned houses, dilapidated silos, everyday home interiors and deserted landscapes embody impermanence and the passage of time. It is a unique approach to documenting the harsh reality of life in America’s rural areas in the aftermath of the Great Depression of the 1930s.”
