Iris Nights: The Restless Genius of Garry Winogrand

A Conversation with Geoff Dyer and Sasha Waters Freyer
Lecture
PAST EVENT: Thu, May 17, 2018

Two experts on the prolific photographer Garry Winogrand will offer their views and visions of his approach and achievements, sharing their work and their knowledge in an intriguing conversation. Winogrand, known for his portrayal of U.S. life and its social issues, through spontaneous images of people – particularly in New York during the 1960s and in Los Angeles where he died in 1984 – had an uncanny sense of timing. He was able to capture bizarre and sometimes implausible configurations of people, places, and things, making him one of the most influential artists of his generation.
