Garry Winogrand — Selected Images from Women are Beautiful
Garry Winogrand

Selected Images from Women are Beautiful

"Selected Images from Women are Beautiful" comprises five gelatin silver prints drawn from Garry Winogrand's acclaimed 1975 photobook documenting candid street photography of women in urban environments. Winogrand's characteristic style captures unstaged moments with a handheld camera, revealing the spontaneity and complexity of everyday life while engaging with broader questions about the male gaze and photographic representation. The gelatin silver print medium, a traditional photographic process, renders these works with the tonal richness and tactile quality central to mid-century modernist photography practices.
