Valerie Richardson speaks with Tod Papageorge, emeritus director of photography at the Yale School of Art, and Lisa Kereszi, assistant director in photography at Yale, about At the Beach + In the Pool: On Influence, a new exhibition at MoCA Westport. The show pairs Papageorge’s iconic black-and-white photographs of 1970s–80s Los Angeles beachgoers with work by 41 of his former Yale MFA students—now Guggenheim Fellows—offering a compelling meditation on photographic mentorship, influence, and legacy.
