Zoom Artist Talk: Arthur Tress

In 1968, Volunteers in Service to America commissioned photographer Arthur Tress to document the endangered folkways of Appalachia. The ravaged landscape of this region spurred an environmental awareness in his work, including a series on resource extraction and the human costs of pollution. In this Zoom conversation with curator of American art Jeffrey Richmond-Moll, Tress will discuss this early series of photographs and their impact on his decades-long photographic career.

The exhibition “Inside Look: Selected Acquisitions from the Georgia Museum of Art” features a selection of Tress’ Appalachia photographs. This event is a UGA Signature Lecture.
