Figments from the Real World

“To this viewer [Winogrand] seems, in fact, the central photographer of his generation.” -John Szarkowski

Back in Print-The first comprehensive overview of the work of Garry Winogrand, long out of print and difficult to come by, contains an eloquent and important essay on the life and work of the photographer by John Szarkowski and a lavish plate section presenting the photographs thematically. Grouped under the following titles- Eisenhower Years, The Street, Women, The Zoo, On the Road, The Sixties, Etc, The Fort Worth Fat Stock Show and Rodeo, Airport, and Unfinished Work- many of the 179 plates are works that had never before been published. The last section includes 25 pictures chosen from the enormous body of work that Winogrand left unedited at the time of his death in 1984. -In his essay, Szarkowski, who knew the photographer well during most of his career, describes the development of Winogrand’s pictorial strategies during his years as a photojournalist, the increasing complexity of his motifs as he pursued more personal goals, and the challenge posed for other photographers by the powerful and distinctive authority of Winogrand’s best work, “with its manic sense of a life balanced somewhere between animal high spirits and an apprehension of moral disaster.”

Starting from the premise that he would photograph Liverpool and the people of Merseyside from the top of a bus, Wood spent over 15 years developing and refining his theme. The photographs are both visually stunning and dramatically revealing in their content. It is already recognised as one of the most impressive achievements of recent British photography.
