SEBASTIÃO SALGADO – EXODUS

Posted on 2021-04-26

In the photographic series “EXODUS”, Salgado documents the dark side of the modern age: the ruthless exploitation of nature and the fate of millions of people on the run who are struggling to survive under the most degrading conditions. Salgado was so affected by this immense suffering that it robbed him of the will to live. Exhausted and disillusioned, he stopped taking photos for several years. However, his wife Lélia Salgado suggested that they reforest the rainforest. In 1998 they founded the Istituto Terra and since then have replanted more than 2.5 million trees. The paradise that Salgado knew as a child had once again emerged. With nature returning, they regained hope and resolved to show others that it is worth getting involved.

FROM THE COLLECTION OF DR. H. RUSSELL ALBRIGHT

Posted on 2021-04-26

For more than four decades, Dr. H. Russell Albright (1934-2017) had a profound impact on the New Orleans Museum of Art, as a donor and trustee. During the 1980s and 1990s, Dr. Albright built a substantial art collection with the intention that it would one day become a permanent part of the museum’s collection. Dr. Albright collected African art, decorative arts, and modern art, but his greatest enthusiasm was for photography. His collection began with acquisitions of important early twentieth-century photographs, but soon shifted toward contemporary works, resulting in a collection with great range from beautiful prints by photographers such as Brassaï and Doris Ulmann to large-scale works by Cindy Sherman, Lorna Simpson, and Yasamusa Morimura, among many others.
