| Summary: | The alliance of photography with the popular press led to an era of creativity in the medium in the 1930s, with eye-catching layouts replacing the traditional rectangular photo format. But before long press photography took on a potent life of its own. The men and women behind the camera became special witnesses to current events and through newspaper reporting were able to pass their visions on to the wider world. Dorothea Lange's "Migrant Mother" made an impact as soon as it was published, as did Walker Evans' evocative series on Alabama sharecroppers and images by Weegee, Robert Capa, and Brassai. This program profiles these and other 20th-century photojournalists, with a special look at Henri Cartier-Bresson's "The People of Moscow," Josef Koudelka's photos of the invasion of Czechoslovakia, and Richard Avedon's portraits for Rolling Stone. |
