Show and Tell: A Brief History of Photography and Text

A picture paints a thousand words, and in some cases a written message would lose its meaning without accompanying imagery. This month, the New Orleans Museum of Art introduces a new exhibit, Show and Tell: A Brief History of Photography and Text, featuring selections from NOMA's collection to show the way the advent of photography has been intertwined with written word throughout history. From the early talbotype to the modern meme, this exhibit is an exploration of how visuals and language shape our perceptions and challenge misinformation. This showcase features renowned artists like Berenice Abbott, Margaret Bourke–White, and Hank Willis Thomas. On display until September 29. noma.org.
