"Louisiana Link"For the first time since the devastation of Hurricane Katrin a, O. Winston Link's oldest exhibition of photographs documenting life in Louisiana will be on view for the public. Opening May 10 at the O. Winston Link Museum, "Louisiana Link" will provide visitors with a new perspective on the work of this important and influential artist. Through more than 50 images Link captures numerous different facets of 1937 life and industry in Louisiana. These include the daily activities of an LSU student, the Catholic blessing of the shrimp boats, oil prospecting, alligator hunting, rice harvesting, cotton marketing, bee insemination, and parties of then Governor Leche. "Louisiana Link" will present rarely seen prints - offering new insight on a photographer whose name and iconic railroad images enjoy worldwide recognition. Although best known for his dramatic black and white portraits of the vanishing steam locomotive, Link was a versatile photographer who made portraits of friends, records of events and striking architectural and cultural documentary through his numerous commercial accounts. The exhibition represents the first of these commercial endeavors and allows viewers to see the photographic path Link traveled on his road to the Norfolk and Western project. "We are excited to have the opportunity to share with our visitors a deeper look into Link's working method and his early career work. In a great departure from our permanent galleries, this exhibition is an exploration of a culture and a man." said Kim Parker, director of the Link Museum. The collection will be on display until October 1, 2008 and is on loan from Louisiana Link, LLC - an organization created by Link's only son, Conway, to gather and exhibit these earliest works by Link. Acquired directly from the photographer by his son, the images showcase Link's raw talent even in his early 20's and without formal training in photography. Funding for this exhibit is by O. Winston Link Museum volunteers Bill and Ellen Arnold
