Rosenberg Case, Moment of Execution, Washington, D.C.
Elliott Erwitt American, born France
Not on view
An early member of the prestigious cooperative picture agency, Magnum, Elliott Erwitt is a master of pictorial humor and the telling human expression. In this photograph his camera shoves us toward a raucous crowd wildly cheering Julius and Ethel Rosenberg's execution for espionage, creating a chilling record of the blind patriotic zeal of 1950s middle-class America.
