Lee Friedlander American

Not on view

The 1967 Museum of Modern Art exhibition “New Documents” included photographs by Friedlander, Diane Arbus, and Garry Winogrand.
These photographers engaged the traditions of American documentary photography to reveal chance encounters, unexpected relationships, and idiosyncrasies of everyday life. This witty composition transforms a city street into an accumulation of form and detail held in careful balance. The movie titles on the theater marquee provide a wry internal caption for this study in juxtaposition.
