Planned to coincide with the election year, this traveling exhibition features the work of photojournalist Diana Walker of Time magazine.

A sense of intimacy and familiarity are the hallmarks of her work, and from her privileged position behind the scenes, Walker has captured the human side of many of the world’s great figures

This exhibition spans Walker’s twenty-five years covering presidential administrations from Gerald Ford to Bill Clinton. Organized by the Smithsonian Institution and shown at the National Museum of American History, Diana Walker underscores the unique talent of the photojournalist as both artist and historian.
