Winogrand photographed the visual cacophony of city streets, people, rodeos, airports and animals in zoos. These subjects are among his most exalted and influential work. Winogrand was the recipient of numerous grants, including several Guggenheim Fellowships and a National Endowment for the Arts Fellowship. His work has been the subject of many museum and gallery exhibitions, and was included in the 1967 “New Documents” exhibition, curated by John Szarkowski at the Museum of Modern Art, New York. In 2013 the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art mounted a major retrospective exhibition including over 160 of Winogrand’s photographs.

Winogrand, Garry : Photography, History

For his commissioned works, he travelled across the United States and began to capture savage and lonesome subjects before turning his attention on crowds and busy streets. He proposed a complete portrait of America, from businessmen to actors and hippies, motels, animals, demonstrators, workers or beachgoers; images of an American daily life, balancing between violence and joy, brutality and calm, energy and composure: ‘you could say that I study photography and it’s true.

But, in reality, it is America that I study.’ His subjects sometimes openly stare back at the camera like this girl being snogged by her boyfriend or these women observing the photographer through their restaurant’s window, others are lost in their own inner world.

“The Animals” series, which debuted at MoMA in 1969 and will be at Pace/MacGill beginning September 9, is now a time-capsule document of very antiquated notions of zoo design. How New York’s zoos have evolved: Habitat Theory: The bars and concrete floors visible in Winogrand’s work were ripped out during the city’s zoological renaissance of the late seventies and early eighties and replaced with spaces modeled on natural habitats. Gone was the “postage stamp” principle (that one or two of each species should be kept in consecutive barren cages). Glass walls or moats now separate visitors from animals. Human-Animal Interaction: When the Central Park Zoo reopened in 1988, visitors complained that moats kept them from touching the animals. Photographer Profile ~ Garry Winogrand.

A lot of photographers are famous for the pictures they exhibited; Garry Winogrand is famous for pictures he never even developed. Winogrand defines street photography for photographers.
