EXHIBITION RECORD
 Bruce Mozert, Untitled Photograph |
Silver Springs: The Underwater World of Bruce Mozert
January 26 through May 11, 2008
Honoring the artist considered the “grandfather of underwater photography,” this first-of-its-kind exhibition is organized by the Appleton in conjunction with release of the University Press of Florida publication, "Silver Springs: The Underwater Photography of Bruce Mozert" by Gary Monroe.
The Underwater Photography features cheesecake tableaus photographed by Mozert from the 1940s through the 1970s to promote “Nature’s Theme Park.” Within the framework of the exhibit, however, the photographs are seen in the context of the fine arts and appreciated not only for their historical significance, but also for their formal rigor and imaginative astuteness.
