Opening Reception for Arbus, Frank, Penn: Masters of Post-War American Photography

Presented by Pyramid Hill Sculpture Park & Museum at Pyramid Hill Sculpture Park & Museum

Diane Arbus, Robert Frank, and Irving Penn were respected photojournalists with work published in fashion magazines such as Vogue and Harper’s Bazaar. However, they would gain notoriety by turning their lens on the overlooked, unseen, and ostracized in society throughout the 1950s and 1960s. This post-war period was a time when photography was establishing itself as fine art, and their images would emerge as icons of the era.

Arbus, Frank, Penn: Masterworks of Post-War American Photography features 38 vintage gelatin silver prints including the Diane Arbus works “Identical Twins, Roselle, N.J.,” “Boy with a Toy Hand Grenade in Central Park,” and “Jewish Giant at Home with his Parents in the Bronx”; Robert Frank’s “Trolley, New Orleans,” “Parade, Hoboken,” and “Chicago (Man with Tuba)”; and Irving Penn’s “Mountain Children, Cuzco, Peru,” “Chimney Sweep, London,” and “Running Children, Rabat, Morocco.”
