THE LIFE
Winogrand photographed American public life from the 1950s onward, in streets, zoos, airports and press events. He shot at enormous volume, and left thousands of rolls undeveloped at his death. He appeared in MoMA's New Documents show in 1967 alongside Arbus and Friedlander. His books include The Animals and Women Are Beautiful.
