Photography by Reynolds High Students on Display at Community Day at Reynolda House Museum of American Art on April 27

Inspired by the photography of Edward Steichen, students in Phil Benenati’s honors photography class at Reynolds High School have been staging and taking their own photos.

Through May 19, the Reynolda House Museum of American Art has a Steichen exhibit called “Star Power: Edward Steichen’s Glamour Photography,” and the people at Reynolda House have invited the Reynolds students to show some of their photographs at the museum’s next Community Day, which is from noon to 3 p.m. on April 27.

On that day, admission to the museum will be free and, along with the work of the Reynolds’ students, families can see artists at work, create their own art and listen to live music. 

The Steichen exhibit includes more than 100 photos taken by Steichen from 1923 to 1937. According the museum website, “Star Power brings together Steichen's Condé Nast portraits of luminaries from the worlds of politics, literature, government, journalism, dance, theatre, music, fashion, and the opera.”
