| Summary: |
"This book, and the exhibition it accompanies, begins in the 1950s and covers a period of four decades during which American culture profound transformation. Each of the artists featured here - photographers Diane Arbus, Nan Goldin, Danny Lyon, Gordon Parks, Garry Winogrand and the snapshooters of Casa Susanna, alongside filmmakers Kenneth Anger, Shirley Clarke, Robert Frank and Alfred Leslie, and Marie Menken - offered new views of the American social landscape in their time. The work these artists produced was motivated, in part, by a sense that the status que was untenable, and that current visual expressions of American life did not reflect what they knew and saw of the world."--Page 9. |
