Faculty Lecture: Alexander Nemerov, "Soulmaker: The Times of Lewis Hine"

One hundred years ago the American photographer Lewis Hine took some of the most memorable pictures of child workers ever made. Traveling around the United States while working for the National Child Labor Committee, he photographed children in textile mills, coal mines, and factories from Vermont to Georgia. In this lecture, given in tandem with the Cantor's exhibition Soulmaker: The Times of Lewis Hine, Alexander Nemerov tells the story of some of Hine's most poignant photographs. Professor Nemerov is the Chair of the Department of Art & Art History and the Carl and Marilynn Thoma Provostial Professor in the Arts and Humanities.
