The exhibition features photographs taken by Nobel Laureate Martin Karplus during his travels in the former Yugoslavia in 1955.
The exhibition features photographs taken by Martin Karplus, Theodore William Richards Professor of Chemistry Emeritus and 2013 Nobel Laureate, during his travels in Europe in 1955. The images are the testimony of a personal journey into cultures, customs and landscapes near and far in time and place. They show the inquiring mind and profoundly humanistic vision of the photographer. They were taken during a point in Yugoslavia’s history when “the Balkans turned into a laboratory for the competition between the Free World and Soviet communism to lead traditional agrarian societies toward modernity,” as Mark Mazower observed in his book The Balkans: A Short History.
