Reflections from the Heart: Photography by David Seymour

The University of Maryland, Baltimore County’s Albin O. Kunh Library Gallery displays art and artifacts from all over the world, including occasional traveling exhibitions and works from its Special Collections Department. An exhibit on the photography of David Seymour runs September 11 – December 10, 2006 and includes both black and white and color imagery. The following description is from the gallery’s website:

“Curated by Tom Beck and organized by the Library Gallery in collaboration with the Corcoran Museum of Art and the George Eastman House, the project provides the first real critical examination of imagery by the pioneering photojournalist David Seymour (Chim). This project will elevate the significance of work by Seymour, the least well-recognized master among the founders of Magnum Photos, and will better familiarize viewers with the symbolism and artistic roots of his imagery. A major publication on Seymour authored by Beck and published by Phaidon Press, Ltd. will accompany the show.“

The show is also accompanied by a podcast and a Flash presentation created in Pachyderm, which features ten images by David Seymour and audio commentary by curator Tom Beck.

The Flash presentation Reflections from the Heart is available at http://streaming.umbc.edu/seymour/
