DESCRIPTION:
107 duotones.. The first publication to focus on the street photos at the core of Winogrand's work, this collection features numerous shots that have never before been printed
Hopefully, this lavish publication, concentrating on his most important body of work, the street scenes, will begin to change that. From Library Journal Winogrand (192884) belongs to a group of early explorers of that borderland between documentary and art photography, sharing space with Robert Frank, Lee Friedlander, and Diane Arbus and building on the work of Walker Evans and Weegee. Yet despite a 1988 retrospective at the Museum of Modern Art and a huge influence on a younger generation of art photographers, he remains underappreciated by the general public. The majority of the 107 photos capture New York in the late 1960s and early 1970s, and they now serve the purpose of a time capsule. But more than that they evoke a timeless spirit of individual alive in the city. . Winogrand took the workaday street tableau and revealed there an intensity and humanity as clear as in any image in a museum. Highly recommended for all p
Not Bad For A Million Rolls of Film! Bucherwurm Gary Winogrand was the type of photographer who had a very itchy camera trigger finger. When he died he left behind around 10,000 rolls of undeveloped film. If it moved he photographed it. Did he shoot so many good pictures simply because he took such an unbelievably large number of them, i.e. if you take a million shots aren't you bound statistically to get at least a thousand good ones? Good question, yet GW is one of my favorite people. If you like street photography with insight and humor he is almost unbeatable. These are candid portraits that catch people gawking, . A great insight into candid photography. I am a street photographer existing in my own vacuum until I found the book Facing New York by Bruce Gilden and now this work by Garry Winogrand. I love the genre, the theft of a slice of life as it occurs on our streets. Reality ends up being the perfect casting director for a visual of modern America. Winogrand's work is beautiful in its simplicity and I realize my goal is to follow in his path. A very important photographer for me.. A Customer said Very Real. This book is worth reading by every person loving cities, not just photograph-lovers. A book so real, you feel you are walking through a cith while flipping the pages!
