The photographic strategy centers on candid, unvarnished portrayals of American life in the late 1960s, capturing moments that reveal complex human behaviors and social realities. The work documents individuals in everyday settings, emphasizing the raw, often unsettling aspects of individuality and society.
New Documents, 1967 collects pivotal works by Diane Arbus, Lee Friedlander, and Garry Winogrand, three photographers whose distinctive approaches interrogate the documentary tradition. Published by The Museum of Modern Art in 2017, the 160-page volume offers a focused lens on this critical year in American photography, where each artist challenges conventional perspectives through their images.
