After A Letter from Japan: The Photographs of John Swope, Polaroids: Mapplethorpe, and Bare Witness: Photographs by Gordon Parks, the Block closes its yearlong look at photography with a selection of photographic works that evoke the character and spirit of their subjects. Many of the photographs, including images by Laura Letinsky, Scott Fortino, and Brad Temkin, have not been exhibited at the Block before.
