The work of Garry Winogrand (1928-84) helped define a quintessential “American” photography in the late twentieth century. Winogrand’s photographs of street life, the suburbs, and the fractured, postwar, new consumer culture that emerged in the 1950s, remind us how the every day is loaded with anonymous joy and pathos and how each moment in life is filled with happenstance and the unexpected.
Women Are Beautiful is a time capsule of the Pop and Mod 1960s. These photographs attest to the ever-changing nature of fashion and the representation of female beauty. “Street” photographs, they raise tricky issues like the “male gaze” and voyeurism, and how they relate to the paparazzi-style reportage that is a mainstay of our contemporary culture.
