Reds, Blues and Others: Terry Gydesen and Diana Walker

MCP’s latest exhibit is something of a tearjerker in a blue state like Minnesota. Terry Gydesen documents the glory that was the Democratic presidential campaigns, proving that black and white is just the medium to highlight crisp lines in the Johns’ expensive suits. Diana Walker, Time’s White House photographer for twenty years, captures candid moments with chief executives, from a Bush grandchild being dragged from Poppy’s office to Clinton popping French fries (oh, the days before heart surgery). Then there’s Gydesen’s shot of the Dean Scream, in all its delicious darkness. After all the hard work and heartache, let’s look back and laugh—even if it still hurts. 165 13th Ave. N.E., Minneapolis; 612-824-5500
