Celebrate Memorial Day weekend with Garry Winogrand's intimate, flashing mirror of America

Featured image, made in White Sands National Monument, New Mexico, 1964, is from Twin Palms Publishers' revelatory 2024 collection of Garry Winogrand’s rarely-seen color photography—culled from more than 45,000 slides made between the early 1950s and the late 1960s. "Winogrand’s color work confronts us with [an] intimate, flashing mirror," editor Michael Almereyda writes, "disclosing yearning and loss within American commotion and plenitude, all the while serving up sharp glimpses of the commonplace—the face of a sleeping boy gilded with Coney Island sand, a young woman’s profile suspended over a half-eaten plate of eggs—that cross into the realm of lyric contemplation.”
