Caption: Its appetite betrayed it. / This young swan, suffering from lead poisoning and unable to fly, was caught near shore. The ailment comes from shot pellets picked up on the bottom and retained in the gizzard until destroyed by attrition.

George Shiras 3rd :: Little screech owl. “Driven from shelter, he glares at the world.”

“Routed from its retreat among leaves and Spanish moss, this little screech owl sits blinking in the sun. Many persons formerly believed his species harmless to other birds, but investigation proved that it is destructive to several small kinds.”

Photographer Carlotta Corpron had a brief but important career as an artist and a decades-long impact as a professor at Texas State College for Women (now Texas Woman’s University). In the 1930s and ‘40s she experimented with light, influenced by the ideals of the Bauhaus and the Institute of Design as brought to Denton, Texas, by László Moholy-Nagy and György Kepes. Her early photographs investigated how light transforms natural objects, but in later projects she took light itself as her subject, capturing its reflection and refraction in abstract compositions that sometimes involved cropping or combining multiple negatives. Corpron bequeathed her archive to the museum, which holds 138 prints, over 800 negatives, and the Carlotta Corpron Papers. [quoted from Amon Carter Museum]
