Overview

OVERVIEW

The masterworks collection formed by Dr. Paul Lloyd Scharf includes photographers as different from one another as Edward Weston and Frantisek Drtikol, Imogen Cunningham and Henri Cartier-Bresson, Bill Brandt and Dorothea Lange. The photographs are united by their icon status within the history of the medium and their exceptional print quality. Imaginative and adventurous, the collection displays a breadth of vision and connoisseurship that is nothing short of remarkable.
