Garry Winogrand
Garry Winogrand: THE ANIMALS. NYC: Museum of Modern Art, 1969. First edition. Small oblong quarto. A very good to near-fine softcover book in photographically-printed wrappers: wrappers lightly worn (as usual) and one tiny nick to bottom page edge of a single interior page that does not affect any artwork. interior unmakredand very clean. Out-of-print. 8.5 x 7.5 softcover book with 46 gravure plates, and an afterword by John Szarkowski. Winogrand's first book is a wry look at animals in the zoo and the people observing them. Many consider this to be Winogrand's finest and most profound work.
"I photograph to find out what the world looks like in a photograph," Winogrand famously said. In The Photobook: A History, Vol. 1. Martin Parr and Gerry Badger write, "Certainly, if not directly social, Winogrand's images would seem to talk of social things. The overriding tenor of his imagery was an elemental angst a the human condition, making him--for all his outward ebullience--one of the most pessimistic photographers."
This edition was selected as one of the 101 most influential photography books of the 20th-century by Andrew Roth. [References: Roth: BOOK OF 101 BOOKS. pgs. 192-3; and Parr/Badger: THE PHOTOBOOK: A HISTORY, VOLUME 1. pg. 257].
