Photography Coast to Coast

By Peggy Roalf   Thursday March 8, 2007

brouwskleinjpg.jpgFrom Dateline Israel at the Jewish Museum to Know War at George Eastman House to Carl de Keyzer's images of post-Soviet prison camps at Robert Koch Gallery, current exhibitions by and large take a serious view of the world. Dislocation holds sway in Jeff Brouws's images of derelict gas stations and bleak landscapes at Robert Klein Gallery. A few shows touch on beauty, such as Seydou Keïta: Portraits from Mail at MOCA Cleveland and Pretty Baby (which also portrays the darker side of childhood) at The Modern Art Museum of Fort Worth. So hang on - spring is on the way.
