| Event Description |
Internationally renowned photographer Sebastião Salgado will deliver the 16th annual Axline Lecture, in connection with a selection of his works on view at the San Diego Museum of Art from February 20 to May 17. The Brazilian-born artist’s black-and-white photographs are among the most influential images of our time—capturing the grim realities of industrialization in developing countries, the toll of warfare, and the degradation of the natural environment. Salgado is the subject of the Oscar-nominated 2014 documentary The Salt of the Earth, directed by acclaimed German filmmaker Wim Wenders and the artist’s son, Juliano Ribiera Salgado.
The Axline Lecture is presented annually by MCASD and The San Diego Museum of Art in recognition of the extraordinary bequest by Rea and Jackie Axline to both institutions in 1999 |
