      April 5, 1972: An exhibition of contemporary photography entitled SIX PHOTOGRAPHERS/SIX VISIONS will open in The Brooklyn Museum’s Community Gallery on Sunday, April 16, and remain on view through Sunday, May 14. Admission is free.

      Participating in the show which marks the fourth all-photography exhibition to be presented in the Gallery since its inauguration in September, 1968, are six artists from the metropolitan area.

      The participants are: Jim Dura, owner of The Brooklyn Museum art supply store; Rita Goodman, a 16-year-old honor student at Stuyvesant High School, Manhattan; Bernard Gotfryd, Newsweek senior staff photographer; Herb Randall, a young, prize-winning (1971 Creative Artists Public Service Program Grant, and the John Hay Whitney Fellowship for Creative Photography) black lensman whose photographs are represented in the permanent collections of the Museum of Modern Art, Metropolitan Museum of Art, and the New York Public Library; Nina Howell Starr, whose “The Strength of Women” series is winning wide acclaim, began her career in photography only ten years ago after rearing and educating four children; and Bernard Weisberger, a Brooklynite, who is the recipient of many awards and prizes for excellence in his favorite photographic theme: people.

      The exhibition has been organized and coordinated by Henri Ghent, with the assistance of Richard Waller. It has been made possible through grants from the New York State Council on the Arts, and the Visual Arts Program of the National Endowment for the Arts.

      Currently featured at The Brooklyn Museum is NORMAN ROCKWELL AND A CENTURY OF AMERICAN ILLUSTRATION which will run through May 14. More than 80 original paintings by America’s most popular illustrator and 123 works by the outstanding illustrators of the past 100 years is on view.

      "Hi, I am trying to find the name of the artist who took and is in the photograph that follows- http://www.brooklynmuseum.org/opencollection/exhibitions/664/Global_Feminisms_Remix/image/216/Global_Feminisms_Remix._%7C08032007_-_03032008%7C._Installation_view. I believe the artist takes pictures of herself dressed as a man but then exposes her femaleness, as in the photo of her dressed as an Ascetic Jew exposing her breast. Can you help me find her information? Thanks in advance- Aimee Record"
