Four decades of previously unpublished work by Bruce Davidson

“So I have done what I wanted to do, I have seen everything, misery, celebrity, the beautiful people, the wicked ones, generosity and hatred. But I think I have gone beyond my vision.... In the heart of my own life, in the heart of other people’s lives. Perhaps that is the most important thing I have done.” So noted nonagenarian American documentary photographer Bruce Davidson is quoted in the new Steidl monograph, The Way Back, collecting four decades of previously unpublished images from Davidson’s archives, selected by the artist himself. Pictured here, “East 100th Street, New York” (1966).
