"(FIRST VIEWING) NEW PHOTOGRAPHERS IN WASHINGTON" Washington Project for the Arts, 1981 "With this exhibition, we inaugurate our new space with the work of Washington artists and we strengthen our commitment to the presentation of contemporary photography." Al Nodal "Washington is now a city in which art is taken seriously; it is actively encouraged, supported and viewed with an increasing level of discrimination and sophistication. Major museums and galleries have not only increased the amount of time and space devoted to photographic exhibitions, but also, the quality of the work shown. The participants in the exhibition, First Viewing, are discriminating and uncompromising individuals...They have maintained a serious and enthusiastic approach to their art that is refreshing. Their work displays imagination, spirit, understanding and taste. This exhibition comes very early in the careers of ...Carol Harrison ...For them this exhibition is intended to instill a sense of pride in their accomplishments, confidence in their work and encouragement to pursue photography....Being exceptionally talented and personally motivated, the level of success that they achieve as artists will equal the height of their own aspirations." John Balfour McIntosh |
