Winogrand in the West: Looking for the Urban in L.A.
New York photographer Garry Winogrand's fascination with Los Angeles began with brief visits in the 1950s and ended with six years of residence just before his early death in 1984. This presentation by Judith Keller, Associate Curator of Photographs, the J. Paul Getty Museum, illustrates how Winogrand applied his fearless curiosity and unusual camera vision to a city radically different from his own.
