Featuring over 70 prints from the Norton Simon Museum collection, this exhibition explores the creative rivalry between Northern and Southern California photographers from 1945 to 1980. It contrasts the purist, natural-light approach favored in San Francisco with the experimental, image-manipulation methods embraced by Los Angeles artists.
