Empathy, affection and outright elation in 'Garry Winogrand: Winogrand Color'

Featured spreads are from Winogrand Color, an instant classic from the internationally renowned photography book publisher, Twin Palms. Collecting 150 rarely seen photographs from Garry Winogrand’s archive of more than 45,000 color slides—housed at the Center for Creative Photography in Tucson, Arizona—this is, remarkably, the first monograph ever dedicated entirely to the late American street photographer’s color work. “We have not loved life,” Winogrand ended a 1964 Guggenheim grant application. Essayist Michael Almereyda quotes this line in his essay, continuing, “Winogrand made the photographs in this book in defiance of this self-appraisal. A loving spirit charges and elevates picture after picture, riding an emotional circuit that sweeps from empathy to affection to outright elation, extending across two decades of work made mostly in broad daylight, on the street, on the road, at the beach, in color.”
