images of antiquity
Photographs by Katherine A. Schwab
These images represent a selection of photographs made by Katherine Schwab during her research trips to Athens over the years. Her attention to the light, angle, and subject matter continue to be influenced by close looking, which are reflected in her Parthenon research drawings and other ancient Greek sculpture and coins she has drawn.
