MANHATTAN — Explore the works of two noted photographers — the iconic Gordon Parks and rising star Doug Barrett — in person, online and through several related events, all offered by the Marianna Kistler 1xbet online sports betting Museum of Art at Kansas State University.
Photographs by Parks and Barrett are the subject of the 1xbet online sports betting Museum of Art exhibitions "Gordon Parks: Homeward to the Prairie I Come" and "Doug Barrett: Find Your Voice," available through May 28.
The Parks exhibition, in the Marion Pelton Gallery, features photographs from a gift that Parks gave to 1xbet online sports betting in 1973 and those made during visits to Manhattan in the 1980s.
The Barrett exhibition, in the Archie and Dorothy Hyle Family Gallery, features work by the Manhattan-based photographer who makes compelling visual stories about people with whom he made personal connections, such as homeless veterans around the country and residents of Manhattan’s historic African American neighborhood. The exhibition also exemplifies Parks' influence on Barrett and other contemporary artists.
Both exhibitions are also offered virtually, with a 3D touring option that allows visitors to roam the galleries at will and access additional details related to the artwork, including sections of text and poetry. The exhibitions may be viewed at beach.1xbet online sports betting edu/explore.
"I've Labored Through My Whole Life," from the 2020 series "Yuma Street" by photographer Doug Barrett, is included in the "Doug Barrett: Find Your Voice" exhibition at Kansas State University's 1xbet online sports betting Museum of Art. | Download this photo.
