PHOTOGRAPHER TO LECTURE

Callahan's work is included in "Night Light: A Survey of 20th Century Night Photography," which currently is in the museum's second-floor galleries at Center in the Square.

His lecture will be the museum lecture hall on the second floor of Center on Church, the new wing of Center in the Square. It will begin at 7:30 p.m. The admission charge will be $3 for museum members and $4 for the general public.

Callahan, a Detroit native, first became interested in photography as a hobby while working for Chrysler in the late 1930s. He formed the Detroit Photo Guild with a friend in 1940 and studied with Ansel Adams that same year. Callahan later became friends with noted photographers Alfred Stieglitz, Berenice Abbott and Edward Steichen.

His work has been exhibited at the Museum of Modern Art, the Art Institute of Chicago and the Venice Biennale, among other places. He taught at Black Mountain College in the 1950s and the Rhode Island School of Design in the 1960s.

Callahan's lecture and the "Night Light" exhibition is underwritten by Woods, Rogers & Hazlegrove. The show continues through April 1.
