From the Great Depression to the Vietnam War, the vast majority of the photographs
printed and consumed in the United States appeared on the pages of illustrated magazines.
Offering an in-depth look at the photography featured in Life magazine throughout
its weekly run from 1936 to 1972, this publication examines how the magazine's use
of images fundamentally shaped the modern idea of photography in the United States.
The work of photographers such as Margaret Bourke-White, Larry Burrows, Henri Cartier-
Bresson, Frank Dandridge, Gordon Parks, and W. Eugene Smith is explored in the context
of the creative and editorial structures at Life. Drawing on unprecedented access
to Life magazine's picture and paper archives, as well as photographers' archives,
this publication presents an array of materials, including caption files, contact
sheets, and shooting scripts, that shed new light on the collaborative process behind
many now-iconic images and photo-essays
