FRIEDLANDER, Lee

About the American photographer, Lee FRIEDLANDER (b. 1934)

"Lee FRIEDLANDER began photographing the American social landscape in 1948. With an ability to organize a vast amount of visual information in dynamic compositions, he has made humorous and poignant images among the chaos of city life, dense landscape and countless other subjects. His work was included in the highly influential 1967 'New Documents' exhibition, curated by John Szarkowski at the Museum of Modern Art. In 2005, Lee FRIEDLANDER was the recipient of the prestigious Hasselblad Award as well as the subject of a major traveling retrospective and catalog organized by the Museum of Modern Art."
