San Francisco MOMA's New Photo Exhibit
For those who live in silver, The SF Museum of Modern Art opened the new photography exhibit, Martin Munkacsi: Think While You Shoot! this past Saturday. The exhibition will be on display until Sunday, September 16, 2007, bringing to light more than 125 pictures, magazine spreads, as well as print layouts spanning the 1920s through the 1940s, and providing a rare opportunity to view a comprehensive selection of his work.
Martin Munkacsi's photographs celebrate the dynamism, speed, and energy of modern life.
From his early years as a sports photographer in Hungary to his innovative photojournalism in Berlin and groundbreaking fashion shoots in New York, Munkacsi dazzled the public with his daringly experimental approach.
His pictures inspired some of the great names in photo history — including Henri Cartier-Bresson and Richard Avedon — yet outside of specialized circles his career has been little known.
