ABOUT THE LECTURE:
Filled with assassinations, political upheaval and cultural revolutions, the 1960s is a decade marked equally by the punctured optimism of the American spirit and the re-energized commitment to community and its interpersonal connections. This talk will explore the work of iconic 1960s street photographers Garry Winogrand and Diane Arbus and investigate the differences and points of connection between how each artist processed the climate of the 60s in his or her work. In addition to these celebrated figures, this talk will also consider how the life and photography of recently discovered Vivian Maier contributes to the conversation.
