George Eastman House presents the first major museum exhibition of photographs by Oscar®-winning actress Jessica Lange. The 33 black-and-white images featured depict film locations, family, and the places she has visited on her travels. But rather than a collection of starry shots, most of the photographs are studies of unknown people and far-away places, such as Ethiopia and Romania. After three decades in front of the camera, Lange is now realizing her dream of being on the other side of the lens. This exhibition is sponsored by Woods Oviatt Gilman LLP and First Niagara Financial Group.
