Leslie Brown, the curator of the PRC, says that while the styles range from 19th-century processes to digital photography, a trend among the images has emerged. “It seems we have an unconscious theme: the surreal,” she says. “I would venture to say that we are seeing new art trends at their very beginnings in shows like this.”
