Russell Lee Photographs

This traveling exhibition of photographs by renowned documentary photographer Russell Lee draws from the magnificent archive that he donated to the Dolph Briscoe Center for American History just prior to his death in 1986. Russell Lee Photographs offers a rare glimpse into the remarkable images he produced in 1935 and 1936 when he first took up a camera and goes on to highlight the vast body of important work that Lee produced from 1947 through 1977.  The stunning images captured by Lee focus on categories such as politics, travel, industry and, most touchingly, the human condition.

The exhibition is produced by the Center for American History at The University of Texas at Austin, and is presented in partnership with Humanities Texas, the state affiliate of the National Endowment for the Humanities.
