Accommodating Nature: The Photographs of Frank Gohlke
Frank Gohlke (b. 1942) is one of America’s leading landscape photographers. For more than thirty years, he has taken photographs that depict how Americans build their lives within a natural world that rarely matches the pastoral ideal.
Whether photographing vast spaces of the Midwest punctuated by grain elevators, the close confines of Massachusetts’ Sudbury River, or the aftermath of the 1980 volcanic eruption of Washington State’s Mount St. Helens, Gohlke draws attention to the boundaries between humanity and nature.
Accommodating Nature: The Photographs of Frank Gohlke is organized by the Amon Carter Museum and is made possible in part by generous support from the Perkins-Prothro Foundation, Exelon Power, and the Vin and Caren Prothro Foundation.

i’m very interested in seeing Frank’s work and excited about the lectures. i’m a new photo prof at A&M and am looking forward to building a strong educational relationship with the Amon Carter! Thank you so much! v
The Carter’s education department has a variety of ways to connect further to our exhibitions on view. From tours led by professional Gallery Teachers to online teaching guides to live, interactive videoconferences, there’s something to benefit teachers and students of all grade levels and disciplines.

This show looks great, i coming from NYC to the lecture! Can wait to see the show, publication and lecture. Thanks.
My son recently took a field trip to the Amon Carter Museum, and came home thrilled; telling me about how Grandma’s house was on display at the Museum. I was delightfully surprised at what I saw when I walked in and saw the very house that I grew up in in Hillsboro, Texas. My sister and I spoke with the Museum tour guide and explained that that was my Grandparent’s home. It was very touching and emotional. This is a beautiful print. We bought purchased post cards to send to our aunts and uncles to show them the beauty of this photo. We always knew the house stood out!
Thanks so much for another G R E A T lecture. Your Nov. 10 talk by William Cronon shed light on the meaning behind the myths of red state, blue state politics and opened my eyes to a postmodern definition of the word nature.
I Really Like the way He Catches the very moment of each picture he takes. he is a real inspiration to a newley found photographer.
I really liked his series on Mt. Saint Helens. It is wonderful how he works with the mind and eye of both a scientist and an artist. Excellent work.
It was an excellent show. Frank has such a sense of the beauty of architecture.
Gohlke really seems to show the reality of small town and city life. He shows the reality of the people, and somehow shows their joys and sorrows. He goes deeper than others. Truly amazing… I recommend his books highly.
thanks for the great video. I didn’t get to go to show, but the video made it seem like I did. Cool show thanks much.
Gohlke’s work is just amazing. generally I don’t like landscape photography, but I do like it, and I like Ansell Adams. maybe I like Gohlke’s work just a bit more.
