A new book illuminates the haunting black-and-white portraits that have captured the eyes of visitors to a legendary Missoula bar for decades.
âA Corner of Space and Time: Lee Nyeâs Eddieâs Club Portraitsâ presents the stories and frames the art in a way thatâs equal parts historic preservation and art book.
Longtime Missoulians likely know a lot already â an art photographer tended bar at whatâs now Charlie Bâs, where he shot portraits of regulars, whether local literary icons or retired blue-collar workers. To younger visitors and recent transplants, it might be limited to even more shorthand.
