Artist Research & Values of Garry Winogrand

Winogrand was influenced by Walker Evans and Robert Frank and their respective publications American Photographs and The Americans. Henri Cartier-Bresson was another influence although stylistically different.He roamed the streets of New York with his 35mm Leica camera quickly taking as many pictures as possible using a prefocused wide angle lens. His pictures frequently appeared as if they were driven by the energy of the events he was witnessing.
