Butler Institute of American Art to host John Greenman art exhibit January through March

The Butler Institute of American Art will be hosting an exhibit showcasing the work of emeritus professor and Carter Chair in Journalism for the University of Georgia John Greenman beginning in January.

The exhibit will be on display between January 14 and March 10 and will show off the photography of Greenman representing his 26 years of work in color photography.

According to a press release from the museum, Greenman's photography focuses on images that depend more on color than composition.

Greenman started out in black and white understanding its wide dynamic range, flexibility and potential for control. He later moved to color thanks to the influence of war photographer Larry Burrows.

"[Burrows] came to understand that color photographs weren't black and white images taken in color. The color had to be central to the composition," the release reads.

The exhibition will be on display in the museum's Davis Gallery. Additionally, guests will have the chance to meet Greenman on opening day between 1:00 p.m. and 3:00 p.m.
