Garry Winogrand is, in my view, the central photographer of his generation. Winogrand’s pictures realize a conception of photography that is richer, more complex, and more problematic that any other since the Second World War. They also provide a picture of America during those years – of the flavor and texture of our life since Truman – that seems to me so true, clear, and tangible that is almost persuades me that I stood where he stood.
