An indepth look at the influential Photo League, whose blend of aesthetics and social activism advanced modern photographyArtists in the Photo League, active from 1936 to 1951, were known for capturing sharply revealing, compelling moments from everyday life. Their focus centered on New York City and its vibrant streetsa newsboy at work, a brass band on a bustling corner, a crowded beach at Coney Island. Though beautiful, the images harbor strong social commentary on issues of class, child labor, and opportunity. The Radical Camera explores the fascinating blend of aesthetics and social activism at the heart of the Photo League, tracing the group's leftleaning roots and idealism to the workerphotography movement in Europe. Influenced by mentors Lewis Hine, Berenice Abbott, and Paul Strand, artists in the Photo League worked within a unique complex comprising a school, a darkroom, a gallery, and a salon, in which photography was discussed as both a means for social change and an art form. The influence of the Photo League artists on modern photography was enormous, ushering in the New York School.Presenting 150 works of the members of the Photo League alongside complementary essays that offer new interpretations of the League's work, ideas, and pedagogy, this beautifully illustrated book features artists including Margaret BourkeWhite, Sid Grossman, Morris Engel, Lisette Model, Ruth Orkin, Walter Rosenblum, Aaron Siskind, W. Eugene Smith, and Weegee, among many others.Published in association with The Jewish Museum, New York, and Columbus Museum of ArtExhibition Schedule:The Jewish Museum, New York(11/06/1103/25/12)Columbus Museum of Art(04/19/1209/09/12)Contemporary Jewish Museum, San Francisco(10/11/1201/21/13)Norton Museum of Art, Palm Beach(03/15/1306/16/13)
