A Window To Life: Looking At The Humanists
Beginning in the mid-1940s, a group of mostly French photographers, known as the Humanists, produced bodies of work that were a response to Europe emerging from World War II.
These photographers, armed with lightweight, handheld cameras, created spontaneous, often candid, and emotionally engaging images that captured moments from everyday life with an underlying human connection, thus generating a new, reinvigorated perspective for a more secure and brighter future.
The pictures contained scenarios from informal moments in life that drew on enduring themes from love, play, contemplation, and compassion united through an undercurrent of empathy and resilience; they highlighted the human experience passing through a common thread. This exhibition highlights works by some of humanism鈥檚 best-regarded photographers.
