Background Information
"Building on Robert FRANK's photo series 'The Americans,' a new generation of photographer:s - Diane ARBUS, Ruth-Marion BARUCH, Jerry BERNDT, Bruce DAVIDSON, Lee FRIEDLANDER, Danny LYON, Garry WINOGRAND, and Ernest WITHERS - strove to reveal a more realistic, sometimes uncomfortable, and always challenging view of a radically changing America in the wake of the civil rights movement and counterculture. From the 'outlaw culture' of bikers and chain gangs to Black Panther rallies and the politically charged South, the subject matter of these photographers was unlike anything previously seen in American photography or even American history."
