Friedlander

Lee Friedlander is one of the most important of the 1960s generation of photographers for whom the posture of distinterested objectivity served as a vehicle for passionate personal inquiries. His large body of work he most often produces extended series of pictures on a chosen theme. then publishes them in book form is oad in subject matter and supple and complex in style. and focuses on what he calls Americas social landscape. At the same time. he has pursued a playful dialogue with artistic tradition as though open-eyed curiosity about the world and a sophisticated taste for the wiles of picture-making were one and the same thing. Friedlander. published to accompany the photographers retrospective at The Museum of Modern Art.
