"Keeping Shadows presents the history of photography told through the collection of the Worcester Art Museum. In 1904, Worcester became one of the first institutions in the United States to exhibit photography as fine art. To mark the centenary of its photography program, the Museum presents this illustrated catalogue which highlights many of its finest works." "An introductory essay relates the history of photography at the Museum and across central New England. In addition to a comprehensive survey of the development and history of photography in the United States, Keeping Shadows features the Museum's noteworthy holdings of French, German, British, and Soviet photography. The book also considers many of the photographers of central New England during the Pictorial era and the twentieth century. Conceived as a showcase for Worcester's collection, this volume includes a glossary of technical and connoisseurship vocabulary that offers to a broad audience a valuable and accessible introduction to the art of photography. Keeping Shadows: Photography at the Worcester Art Museum serves as the catalogue for the autumn 2004 Museum exhibition and its national tour thereafter."--Jacket
