From the museum: Oceanside Museum of Art celebrates the storied career of the Pulitzer Prize-winning photojournalist, Don Bartletti with an exhibition featuring photography captured throughout his over 40-year career. Don Bartletti: Elusive Moments-Enduring Stories will open January 22 and run through May 1. From the artist: “My approach to photojournalism lies somewhere between cultural anthropology and a scavenger hunt. Before I step out of the newsroom or my front door, I’ve already spent minutes, hours, days, weeks, or sometimes years of research on a subject. I’m focusing long before I pick up the camera. Planning can be as simple as reading a weather report or as complicated as understanding causes and consequences of international migration. Even if I know when the sun will set in Carlsbad or where emigrants will cross the U.S./Mexico border, the essential story-telling moment is inevitably hiding in plain sight. That’s where the “scavenger hunt” comes in—but it’s not a game. It’s a purposeful search for emotions, personalities, circumstances, and moments that will beg the viewer to critically question or simply appreciate what they see in the picture." — Don Bartletti (read more via OMA) Related links: Oceanside Museum of Art on Instagram Oceanside Museum of Art on Facebook
