\n Since the invention of photography\, viewers have respond ed with immediacy to photographs of people. Roland Barthes wrote about the indexical nature of the photograph--the fact that 'that has been\,' the e vidence that a certain person once stood in front of the camera. “(Re)view ing Bodies: Selected American Photographs” examines the ways in which 20th -century American photographers have represented the body\, whether as sub ject or compositional element. Topics include the abstracted or fragmented body\, the body and labor\, the body and performance\, the body in social situations\, and the body in pain. The exhibition includes works by Diane Arbus\, Larry Burrows\, Harry Callahan\, Judy Dater\, Gordon Parks\, and Jerry Uelsmann. Organized by Wesleyan University students in the Museum St udies seminar\, the show includes more than fifty American photographs fro m the Davison Art Center collection.
