A Revolution in Seeing: The Daguerreotype in America, a curator talk with Keith F. Davis

Keith Davis, Senior Curator of Photography at The Nelson-Atkins Museum of Art in Kansas City and one of the leading scholars of photography today, examines the formative period of photography. The daguerreotype is the first successful photographic process and was in regular use for about 20 years, from 1840 to 1860. In this relatively brief formative period, the "DNA" of photography was formed. The practice of these pioneering photographers explored just about all of the potentials and possibilities of the medium in this era of astounding innovation. This talk will focus on the surprising quality, diversity, and modernity of this remarkable early photographic technology. Keith F. Davis is Senior Curator of Photography at the Nelson-Atkins Museum of Art in Kansas City and one of the leading scholars of photography today. He has organized more than 80 exhibitions and authored 20 catalogues and books. His 2007 exhibition, "The Origins of American Photography, 1839-1885," offered a major scholarly contribution to the advent of photography. Davis' talk was presented in collaboration with the exhibition, "Photographic Wonders: Daguerreotypes from The Nelson-Atkins Museum of Art," on view at the Wichita Art Museum January 17 through May 10, 2015.
