Garry Winogrand: On the Road

In images made throughout the 1960s and 70s from New York to Los Angeles, Winogrand explores an American society in flux. As the artist had said, “You could say that I am a student of photography, and I am; but really I’m a student of America.”

Garry Winogrand: Women are Beautiful

Winogrand published this monograph in 1975, at the height of the feminist movement. In the book’s introduction, he writes, “Whenever I’ve seen an attractive woman, I’ve done my best to photograph her. I don’t know if all the women in the photographs are beautiful, but I do know that the women are beautiful in the photographs.”

Garry Winogrand: In the Street

“Winogrand’s best work had a powerful and distinctive authority. The nervous, manic, nearly chaotic quality was an appropriate formulation of a sense of life that was balanced somewhere between animal high spirits and an apprehension of moral disaster.” —John Szarkowski
