This morning I realized that Edvard Munch's famous painting, The Scream, will be on view at MoMA in a little over a week. My cultural interests piqued, I began searching for other artistic news and came across some dance photography by Mikhail Baryshnikov. Upon first clicking on the link, I was expecting to see photographs of the famous Russian ballet dancer. Quickly I realized my reading error. These were pictures taken by Baryshnikov of contemporary dancers. He plays with shutter speed and exposure to capture and create some beautiful images.
