New York, 1950—From New York City to Los Angeles and many stops in between, photographer Garry Winogrand blurred the lines between chaos and beauty, capturing a monumental time capsule for an era of rapid social change and economic prosperity in a post-World War II climate while also seeing the traumatic assassination of President John F. Kennedy and the violent reactions to an impending Vietnam War. His street photography presents real, in-your-face moments. Whether it’s an image of a soldier coming home, the idealization of the model American family, or a casual passerby, Winogrand’s eye for detail allows his images to remain just as relevant today as they did half a century ago.
