More information
"Cape Light", Joel Meyerowitz’s series of serene and contemplative color photographs taken on Cape Cod, Massachusetts, broke new ground both for color photography and for the medium’s acceptance into the art world. It's everyday scenes—an approaching storm, a local grocery store at dusk, the view through a bedroom window—are transformed by the stunning light of Cape Cod and the luminous vision of the photographer. Meyerowitz is a contemporary master of color photography, and through his eyes small-town life on the Cape is imbued with a powerful and captivating beauty.
