Join us for a new exhibition at the Museum of Art, Clyde Butcher: Lifeworks in Photography, featuring 45 photographic prints by renowned large-format, black-and-white photographer Clyde Butcher. This retrospective exhibition spans his 50-year career and presents a wide range of images, from intimate portraits of a rare ghost orchid to majestic American landscapes.

Clyde Butcher is an American photographer and conservationist whose photographic career spans 50 years. Inspired by sharing the beauty of natural places, Butcher spends time in remote, rugged territory, capturing the unique characteristics of each region. His enticing photographs are an invitation to slow down and contemplate the beauty and fragility of the natural world. His use of large-format, black-and-white photography imbues each image with a sense of timelessness and depth that creates an emotional resonance with the viewer. His photographs champion environmental conservation by encouraging people to fall in love with and appreciate natural landscapes and through that to become conservation advocates.

Regarding this retrospective exhibition, Butcher said, “Lifeworks in Photography is not just about the visual narrative captured in each frame, but also a call to action – to follow your passions and find purpose, and, in doing so, become a beacon of positive change in the world.”
