Works of 'Midnight' Artist to be Featured at The High

ATLANTA, GA -- The High Museum on Wednesday announced the opening of a new spring exhibit, “The Spirit of the Place: Photographs by Jack Leigh.”

Leigh, an accomplished visual artist from Savannah, has been capturing images of the South since the 1970s, along with the likes of William Eggleston and William Christenberry.

In 1993, Leigh did the piece called "Midnight," which went on to appear on the cover of John Berendt’s 1994 book “Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil.” The bestselling book later became a movie in 1997.

"Midnight" will be included in the exhibit along with other pieces from Leigh, who works exclusively in black and white. More than 30 other works from the High's collection will be featured in the exhibit, the museum said in a news release.
