Garry Winogrand relentlessly photographed the visual cacophony of modern life, making complex, energetic images that helped define a new era in photography. Born in New York, where he lived and worked during much of his life, Winogrand often photographed city streets, recording crowds and individuals and capturing the tension and exuberance of public life. His well-known series, all published as books, include Women Are Beautiful<\/em>, which provocatively presents women Winogrand encountered on the street; Public Relations<\/em>, which collects photographs made at demonstrations, parties, and political events during the turbulent 1960s and \u201870s; and The Animals<\/em>, which frames the zoo as a theater in which humans and animals interact. After his move to Texas in 1973, Winogrand produced Stock Photographs: The Fort Worth Fat Stock Show and Rodeo<\/em>, a series and publication documenting the lively events and gatherings at the long-running cattle industry exposition. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Writing after Winogrand\u2019s death in 1984, photography critic Andy Grundberg noted that Winogrand\u2019s photographs are \u201ctypically crammed with activity,\u201d but \u201crather than having a single subject\u2026they offer a multiplicity of viewpoints and interpretations. To the casual observer, they may seem on the verge of disorganization\u2026 but they contain an almost subliminal order beneath their chaotic surface that testifies to the visual intelligence of their maker.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n
