BACKGROUND:
STREET SEEN: The Psychological Gesture in American Photography, 1940-1959, an acclaimed exhibition, on view at the Milwaukee Art Museum through April 25, 2010, examines a unique and pivotal moment in American photographic history. The first major examination of street photography of the 1940s and ”˜50s in nearly 20 years includes work by Lisette Model, Robert Frank, Louis Faurer, Ted Croner, Saul Leiter, and William Klein — and uncovers a crucial time in American art, when global media was in its adolescence and photography was just beginning to achieve recognition in the contemporary art world. A highlight will be the viewing of Time Capsule, a recently discovered short film by Louis Faurer.
