Label TextSometimes, to create an image that approximates the vision of the artist, unconventional or unusual measures are employed. To achieve this image, described as a “tranquil, poetic study in black and white; a gentle invitation to explore history or enter a dream,” Gene Meadows used a medium format camera (2 1/4” negatives) and a 15-minute exposure. The long exposure, necessitated by the low light in this night scene of a restaurant in the Czech Republic, contributed to the over-all softness of the image.Published References"From The Collection," MONTAGE, vol.V, no.3, Summer 1997, p. 9, repr.Exhibition HistoryToledo Museum of Art, Past and Present: Photographs from the Permanent Collection, Jan 22 - June 8, 1999.
