gary winogrand's exploration of Landscape

6/2/2014

Do you like photography? I would recommend you check out an extensive overview of Gary Winogrand's work at the National Gallery of Art. The exhibit closes soon, on June 6, so rush over there!

I stumbled upon this exhibition and was quite caught up in the black-and-white photographs of rural and city landscapes. Winogrand (1928-1984) explored both the vastness and space of the open space in suburbia (think Albuquerque neighborhoods of New Mexico) and the closed up space and intensity of big cities (New York city street comes to mind). 

It is a deeply personal experience to see a photograph - it evokes emotions and thoughts that are pertinent to you as the viewer. What I saw at the exhibition may be different from what you experience. I encountered a deep interest in the human condition within the various landscapes we inhabit. When I looked at Winogrand's work, I saw silence and noise, care and lack of interest, excitement and boredom ...

Art is to provoke us and to broaden our own experience.
When I walked out of the Gallery, back into the street of Washington D.C., I looked at the city with a new point of view. See what happens when you go see this exhibition.
