Unlike performing music, a museum exhibit of his photos allows Graham Nash to step back and check out the show.
"To see them with some emotional and physical distance is really profound to me," Nash said of the display at the Butler Institute of American Art in Youngstown, Ohio.As part of Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young, he was part of the musical revolution of the 1960s.
"My songs are snapshots of life manifested in music," Nash said. "(My art) is snapshots of life manifested in pictures."
The show, "Graham Nash and Nash Editions," which will run through May 26, showcases artwork and the technology behind it. His company, Nash Editions, makes museum-quality prints using computers and computer printers.
While Nash Edition prints are part of the permanent collection at the Metropolitan Museum of Art, the Butler Institute exhibit that opened Friday is the first group show featuring the artists who have used the technology.
