'Paul R. Williams, American Architect' returns to Memphis

The Art Museum of the University of Memphis is bringing back Paul R. Williams, American Architect later this month, revisiting its landmark 2010 exhibition on the work of the pioneering Black architect (1894–1980). 

The updated exhibition features more than 200 photographs by David Horan, organized by decade from the 1920s through the 1960s, documenting Williams’s remarkable range of residential and commercial work across Los Angeles.

The images were produced over two years as Horan and curator Leslie Luebbers traveled throughout the LA area, capturing everything from interiors and exteriors to Williams’s meticulous handling of light, detail, and spatial choreography.
