| In his thirty years of photography, Winogrand captured
a vibrant urban America, documenting the city and its denizens through innovative
street photography. Using a wide-angle lens, he photographed his subjects
"from the hip," literally, often tilting the frame, creating a
snapshot effect suggesting the immediacy and vivacity of the photographic
moment. Winogrand's Women are Beautiful series comprises 85 photographs,
taken in the 1960s and 1970s, of women in public places. |
