In celebration of Cornell's Sesquicentennial, the Johnson Museum's presents the first significant exhibition of its Margaret Bourke-White photographs in 25 years. It highlights her work as a student on campus (Class of 1927) as well as her later work on assignment for Fortune and LIFE magazines as a photographer, editor, and war correspondent. In 1971, shortly after her death that year, Cornell's first art museum hosted the first comprehensive exhibition of Bourke-White photographs, printed about 1965 with her permission as a gift to Cornell. Margaret Bourke-White: From Cornell Student to Visionary Photojournalist presents a combination of these prints as well as vintage prints, the first prints made after a negative is developed.
