This is the last week to see the "100 Years of Autochrome" exhibit at the Amon Carter Museum. Learn how autochrome brought color into a black and white world. First marketed in France in 1907, it remained the principal color photography process until it was surpassed by the advent of color film in the 1930s.
The Carter Museum is home to a vast collection of American Art donated by Amon G. Carter. This week, take special notice of the works by Laura Gilpin. Considering the color of the subject's clothing, Gilpin's "Woman in Black and White Striped Skirt Seated in Chair" may seem an unlikely choice for the autochrome display. But you'll marvel at the verdant background of this photo that amply demonstrates the charm of color photography.
Come and celebrate the wonder of imagery by retracing the invention of the first commercially viable color photographic process.
