Garry Winogrand: Four Edges and the Facts
Photographer Garry Winogrand was one of the leading innovators in 20th century American photography. Like most photographers who took up the medium in the years following World War II, Winogrand initially worked in the commercial contexts of journalism and advertising. Around 1960, he set off on his own path, following his keen instinct for finding extraordinary pictures within ordinary life. His best photographs are both perfectly formed and utterly confusing. The 58 photographs in this exhibition, organized by Phoenix Art Museum and the Center for Creative Photography from its collection, reveal Winogrand’s predilections for certain subjects – women, animals, and public spectacles – as well as his keen sense of the ridiculous, theatrical and mysterious aspects of modern life.
