The Tampa Museum of Art will have a new Garry Winograd exhibit on display until April 2024. The photos will come from the portfolio Women are Beautiful (1975).
Who is Garry Winograd?
Garry Winogrand transformed the genre of street photography in the 1960s. With his Leica camera in hand, he captured the movements, both hurried and introspective, and raw emotions of his subjects. Initially published as a monograph, the portfolio Women are Beautiful (1975) represents Winogrand’s most significant project. Comprised of 85 photographs, the series features women engaged a range of ordinary activities. From walking across the street to enjoying a conversation and dancing in a crowd. Some photos are direct, with the woman walking straight towards Winogrand’s lens. While others reveal the photographer observing quiet moments of solitude.
“I photograph to see what the world looks like in photographs.”
