‘‘No such thing as ‘anti-aging’’’?

“Mr. Bennett, East Jamaica, Vermont” (1943, gelatin silver print (vintage), on paper), by Paul Strand (1890-1976), in the show “With Time,’’ at the Middlebury (Vt.) College Museum of Art, May 23-Aug. 9

The museum says:

“When it comes to aging, we are living in strange times.

“We are bombarded by advertisements for ‘anti-aging’ products—quick fixes for smoothing wrinkles, revitalizing weary bodies, and returning us to younger versions of ourselves. Elixirs of youth fill store shelves and infiltrate social-media feeds. Countering these efforts is an alternate chorus, one that reminds us that there is no such thing as ‘anti-aging,’ and that we should celebrate every age and stage with gratitude and grace.’’
