An Art of Participation: Photographs of Garry Winogrand

February 7 - April 7, 2022

We are thrilled that the photographs of renowned street photographer Garry Winogrand will be on exhibit in the William Blizard Gallery. On exhibit will be his 1982 portfolio: Women are better than men. Not only have they survived, they do prevail. An epic chronicler of American life, Winogrand said, “You may say I'm a student of photography, and I am– but really, I’m a student of America.” Known for his wry observations of fleeting human interactions, his photographs offer unexpected details and unresolved moments in time, encouraging us to look and look again at these snapshots of everyday life. This portfolio offers characteristic Winogrand points of view: tilted horizons, temporary choreographies, and centrifugal compositions. The images offer a unique vantage point on post-War America: an energetic tension between hope and optimism for a new age, woven through with deep ambivalence and anxiety.

The students of ARTS 225: Introduction to Photography, will be creating work in response to the photographs, which will be included in the exhibition as well.
