Over 90 works explore the entire career of the American photographer, from the 1960s to the present day
Dedicated to one of the great figures of contemporary photography, this selection of over 90 images explores the most significant moments in the career of Joel Meyerowitz (born 1938), from his early images of the 1960s to his more recent work. It is divided into thematic chapters analyzing Meyerowitz's photographic series, from his evocative still lifes to the tragedy of 9/11; his sociological research which helped redefine the concept of street photography; and his conceptually provocative images reflecting American individualism during the Vietnam War. Meyerowitz's photography favors precise humanistic insight. With his calm and methodical reading of our reality, he reminds us of how photography can be a tool for reflection on the experiences of both the individual and society--a way of appreciating the present in all its aspects.
