All Hands on Deck: Edward Steichen and the WWII Naval Photographic Unit

On view until May 8
10 a.m. – 3 p.m., Monday – Friday
Moore Art Gallery, Capers Hall, The Citadel campus
Free, open to the public

Set against the sweeping backdrops of the ocean and the sky, Edward Steichen and the members of his Naval Photographic Unit captured stunning eyewitness images of epic moments in World War II that continue to resonate more than 75 years later. Steichen, who had served in the first World War in the photographic reconnaissance division of the Army Signal Corps, understood the power of documentary visual data. Also, as a celebrated photographer for Condé Nast publications like Vogue and Vanity Fairand a photography curator at the Museum of Modern Art, he knew how to align geometry, emotion, and action in a fleeting second to express the essence of a story, requiring patience, anticipation, and a keen eye for composition.
