Streetwise - Street Photography and the 1960s



Streetwise builds on Swiss photographer Robert Frank’s snapshot aesthetic, which gained attention following the release of his groundbreaking book, The Americans in 1959. Frank’s focus on a more personal documentary style influenced a new generation of photographers, including legendaries such as Diane Arbus, Lee Friedlander, Jerry Berndt, Ruth-Marion Baruch, Garry Winogrand, Bruce Davidson, Danny Lyon and Ernest Withers.


Currently on exhibit at the Museum of Photographic Arts in San Digeo, CA. Bruce Davidson will be at MOPA on Friday, April 8, 7:00 pm to give an artist talk. Tickets available here.
