Homer Lecture on Photography slated Feb. 20 9:16 a.m., Feb. 15, 2007--Douglas Nickel, director of the Center for Creative Photography and associate professor of art at the University of Arizona, will be the featured speaker at the William I. Homer Lecture on Photography at 5:30 p.m., Tuesday, Feb. 20, in 006 Willard Hall Education Building. Nickel's lecture, “Physiological Optics: The Photography of Peter Henry Emerson,” is part of UD's Department of Art History lecture series, “Liminal Visions, Elusive Objects.” Widely regarded as the father of art photography, Emerson was both a key theorist of photographic esthetics and one of the medium's most advanced practitioners. In his lecture, Nickel will examine Emerson's ideas about photography as a case study in how the history of photography might be conducted and revitalized as an aspect of art history. Nickel has won several awards and fellowships for his work and has lectured and written extensively on a broad range of topics in photography. The lecture is free and open to the public. An informal question-and-answer session will follow the talk. The event is sponsored by UD's Department of Art Conservation and the Committee on Cultural Activities and Public Events.
