This exhibition showcases the work of area photographer Jay Ressler depicting the complexity and magic of modern urban life.

Although referencing the disappearing industrial landscape and urban decay, Ressler transcends the abandonment of "urban porn" to produce a portrait of modern life and living beings through accompanying images of our spaces and artifacts as they are visible to all who look.

In recognition of the sesquicentennial of the Battle Of Gettysburg, this exhibition includes more than 100 drawings by artists working for "Frank Leslie’s Illustrated Newspaper" during the Civil War years and immediately following.

Battle Of Gettysburg was the battle with the largest number of casualties in the American Civil War (1961-1965). It is considered a turning point in that historic conflict and was extensively covered by the magazine "Frank Leslie’s Illustrated Newspaper" (1852-1922).

These early “embedded” journalists recorded their first-hand impressions of war, daily life during wartime, and other aspects of 19th-century American culture. For more information, call (412) 371-0600.
