A painter turned photographer, Garry Winogrand is known for his street photography and other visual documentation of American life. He published four books of his photographs, including The Animals (1969) and Women Are Beautiful (1975). Winogrand received three Guggenheim Fellowship Awards and a National Endowment of the Arts Award. He taught photography courses at the University of Texas at Austin and at the Art Institute of Chicago. When he died, he left more than 2,500 undeveloped rolls of film. A small fraction of these images appeared in the posthumous exhibition “Winogrand, Figments from the Real World” at the Museum of Modern Art in New York in 1988.
