Rock and Revolution @ Mattatuck Museum in Waterbury

Now through April 22, there is a special exhibition of photographs by Jim  Marshall @ the Mattatuck Museum located on  144 West Main Street, in Waterbury. Jim Marshall's fly-on-the-wall photography is showcased in this exhibition featuring images of major rockstars from the '60s and '70s, including Jimi Hendrix, Bob Dylan and, Janis Joplin. 

Jim Marshall (1936-2010) is widely acknowledged as one of the premier photographers of the rock 'n' roll era, visually recording the changing times and the explosion of creativity and celebrity in the 1960s. In addition to street scenes of New York and San Francisco, this exhibition demonstrates his quietly intimate style, a merging of fly-on-the-wall observation and portraiture. Among the celebrated rock stars are Jimi Hendrix, Janis Joplin, the Grateful Dead and The Who.  The Museum is open Tues. - Sat. 10 am - 5 pm and Sun. 12 pm - 5 pm.
