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
