DAVIDSON, Bruce - Survey

Background information

"US-american Magnum photographer Bruce DAVIDSON is a pioneer of social documentary photography. In his work, he prizes his relationship to the subject above all else. From his profound documentation of the civil rights movement to his in-depth study of one derelict block in Harlem, he has immersed himself fully in his projects, which have sometimes taken him several years to complete.(...)

'I often find myself an outsider on the inside, discovering beauty and meaning in the most desperate of situations.' (© Bruce DAVIDSON)

This survey, created in conjunction with an exhibition at Fundación Mapfre in Spain, focuses on the work that has made DAVIDSON one of the most influential documentary photographers to this day.
In addition to his civil rights series and his work in Harlem, the book includes DAVIDSON’s well-known series 'Brooklyn Gang', 'Subway', and 'Central Park'. The book 'Survey' also highlights more recent projects, such as his explorations of Paris and Los Angeles landscapes." (© Aperture, 2016)
