Description

Given their enormous influence and notoriety, it is curious that no book has yet focused in depth on Garry Winogrand's photographs of the street. The Man in the Crowd is the first publication to concentrate on these photographs that remain at the core of Winogrand's work. Made from the late 1950s until his untimely death in 1984, the photographs have the nervous energy and ring of truth that earned Winogrand his reputation as, in the words of John Szarkowski, "the central photographer of his generation." More than half of the 107 full-page reproductions in this monograph have never been published before. The noted observer of metropolitan life Fran Lebowitz has contributed an introduction with her thoughts on New York in the 1970s and Winogrand's relation to the life on the street. Also included is an essay by respected critic Ben Lifson examining the larger meanings of Winogrand's work and its place in the history of art.
