the
Dayton Art Institute exhibition, LINDA McCARTNEY'S SIXTIES: Portrait of
an Era.
This exciting and vital exhibition shows how Linda McCartney chronicled an era. Her keen eye for "the moment" and her ability to capture it perfectly with available light sources became her hallmark. More than 48 photographs in LINDA McCARTNEY'S SIXTIES vividly display icons of popular music in black and white, color, silvertone and in exquisite platinum.
LINDA McCARTNEY'S SIXTIES represents the first comprehensive showing of Linda McCartney's sixties photography to go on tour in the United States. The exhibition is organized in 10 groups, beginning with photographs of The Rolling Stones and The Who, followed by The Doors, The Grateful Dead and The Mamas and The Papas and many other famous faces of the 1960s. The final groups consist of several images of Janis Joplin and Jimi Hendrix from 1967 and numerous pictures of The Beatles.
