The photography of John Gutman: Culture Shock

Through the lens of photographer John Gutmann, whose work reveals a unique appreciation of American culture in all of its strangeness and vitality, the US urban experience of the twentieth century comes to life. The social turbulence underlying life during the 1930s, 40s and More…\n50s was captured memorably by Gutmann in America’s cars, signs, clothing, and street life, and also the multitude of surprising individuals he portrayed with both irony and respect.
