Diana Mille, Ph.D., director of the Thomas J. Walsh Art Gallery at Fairfield University, will present "A New Vision," a lecture on photography from 1918 through 1940, on Wednesday, April 13, from 12:30 to 1:30 p.m. at the gallery, located in the Regina A. Quick Center for the Arts. Dr. Mille, who is focusing on photography in this season's Director's Choice lecture series, will focus on the years when photographers became conscious of the effects of technology, urbanization, cinema and graphic art.

"In addition to the 'isms' of pre-war avant-garde art - especially Cubism - the aesthetic concepts associated with Constructivism, Dadaism and Surrealism inspired a climate of experimentation with photo-collage, montage, camera-less images and non-objective forms," Dr. Mille said.

"A New Vision" is the final of four Director's Choice lectures this season. The popular series will begin again in the fall. Those attending can also view the gallery's new exhibit, the 2005 Student Studio Art Exhibition, which includes several intriguing pieces of sculpture, painting, drawing and mixed media created by Fairfield University students. The exhibit will be on display through Sunday, May 15.

Admission to the Director's Choice lecture is $5. For more information, call (203) 254-4000, ext. 2969.
