完整圖錄內容
"I suspect that I respond to their energies, how they stand and move their bodies and faces. In the end, the photographs are descriptions of poses or attitudes that give an idea, a hint of their energies. After all, I do not know the women in these photographs. Not their names, work, or lives. 'Women Are Beautiful' ” is a good title for this book because they are." - Garry Winogrand
Known for his snapshot aesthetic, Garry Winogrand’s powerful oeuvre of street photography captured everything from political leaders, a day at the zoo, and his love of women. His acute interest in photographing women in public places began at the start of the 1960s and continued into the 1970s before culminating in his 1975 publication, Women Are Beautiful. Utilizing a wide angled lens enabled Winogrand the freedom to shoot quickly and decisively while preserving all the desired visual information in the frame. Stylistically it allowed for a candid quality, showcasing the essence of women in the way they laugh, dress, and walk. Winogrand’s fascination and preoccupation with women transcended typical admiration as John Szarkowski noted in Winogrand: Figments from the Real World: “… women represented neither pleasure nor companionship, but magic power.” The eighty-five images that are comprised in Women Are Beautiful, both in the original book publication and the portfolio on offer here, showcase the artist’s adoration and keen eye.
