Lee Friedlander's work is widely known for transforming our visual understanding of contemporary American culture. Renowned for his passionate embrace of every subject, Friedlander has photographed almost every facet of American life from the 1950s to the present. From factories in Pennsylvania to the New Orleans jazz scene and the deserts of the Southwest, his complex formal visual strategies continue to shape how we understand, analyse and experience modern America. His work continues to influence photographic practice internationally, partly through the heightened self-awareness that characterises many of his photographs and partly through his ability to embrace a wide range of subjects, always interpreting them with an elegance unprecedented before his work.
