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.”
