Koppitz was one of the leading practitioners of this type of photography, which attempted to create a visual picture of Austrians. Many of the concerns which are seen in Koppitz's works were also seen in the works of Viennese or Austrian artists that the Block Gallery featured in the 'Emigrants and Exiles' exhibition held earlier this year. The lecture is open to Northwestern faculty, staff and students and Block Gallery members, and will be followed by a members opening reception. The American tour is generously supported by the Austrian Cultural Office, New York, and the Austrian Consul General, Chicago. The Mary and Leigh Block Gallery is located at 1967 S. Campus Drive on the Arts Circle, Evanston campus.
