Award-winning Hoosier photojournalist, Bill Foley, talks about his career

He’s an award-winning Hoosier photojournalist and you’re getting a chance to see his life work on display.

From the Midwest to the Middle East, Pulitzer Prize-winning photojournalist Bill Foley has spent decades capturing news and event in his remarkable photographs. The Indiana State Museum’s exhibit Art Meets News: The Work of Photojournalist Bill Foley includes the photos that won the 1983 Pulitzer Prize for spot News Photography.

The exhibition will highlight a moving body of work including more than 100 vintage photographs, 3-dimensional artifacts and personal accounts from Foley’s nearly 40-year career, including his time with The Associated Press (1978-1984) and Time magazine (1984-1990).

Katherine Gould, associate curator of cultural history, says more than a year ago, she knew this exhibit would be something special.

When I began reviewing thousands of images from Bill’s career, I knew this would become one of the most emotional, compelling exhibitions I have worked on in my career. Many of these breathtaking images have appeared in major newspapers and magazines around the world and bear witness to the devastating effect of armed conflict and the resiliency of humanity amid its aftermath.”

The exhibit runs now through July 19, 2015. To learn more, please visit www.indianamuseum.org.
