Summary
The Annenberg Space for Photography website for the exhibit stated: Country: Portraits of an American Sound presented images of the pioneers, poets and icons of country music and explored how images shape the public identity of country music performers and of the genre itself. Celebrated performers such as Johnny Cash, Dolly Parton, Keith Urban and Hank Williams - as well as deejays, fans, executives and musicians - were seen in the works of photographers who documented multiple generations of this popular history. The work of the exhibit's featured photographers spanned from post-World War II America into the new century - a variety of documentary, studio, promotional and fine art images. Guests visiting the Annenberg Space for Photography were able to experience the power of photography portraying American ideals that country music embodies.
