Please join us on Thursday, November 5th for a dynamic lecture by photographer Keith Carter. Born in Madison, Wisconsin in 1948, Carter holds the endowed Walles Chair of Art at Lamar University Beaumont, Texas. He is the recipient of two National Endowment for the Arts Regional Survey Grants and the Lange-Taylor Prize from the Center for Documentary Studies at Duke University. Carter has ten monographs published of his black and white photographs. In 1997, Carter was the subject of an arts profile on the national network television show, CBS Sunday Morning. In 1998, he received Lamar University's highest teaching honor, the University Professor Award, and he was named the Lamar University Distinguished Lecturer.

Carter's haunting, enigmatic photographs have been widely exhibited in the U.S., Europe, and Latin America. They are included in numerous permanent collections, including the Art Institute of Chicago; San Francisco Museum of Modern Art; George Eastman House; Museum of Fine Arts, Houston; and the Wittliff Collection of Southwestern and Mexican Photography at Southwest Texas State University.
