More Modernism for you

The Currier Museum seems to have chosen the "when in doubt, throw it all up" curatorial technique for their current exhibition: A New Vision: Modernist Photography. The whole show is pretty solid, with some true gems hanging alongside the standard fare (the c. 1920 aerial photograph of Edinburgh by Alfred Buckham is mesmerizing). The sheer number of images is evidence of why Modernism (still) has such a strangle-hold on popular conceptions of art. Definitely worth a visit.
