Documentary Photography:
Bruce Davidson,
Magnum
Bruce
Davidson began photography at the age of
ten in Oak Park, Illinois. In 1949, at the
age of 16, he won his first prize in the
Kodak National High School Competition. He
went on to attend the Rochester Institute
of Technology and Yale University. After
military service in 1957, he worked as a
freelance photographer for Life Magazine
and in 1958 became a member of Magnum
Photos, the international photography
agency.
Davidson
continued to photograph extensively from
1958 to 1961 creating such bodies of work
as "The Dwarf", "Brooklyn Gang", and the
"Freedom Rides". He received a Guggenheim
Fellowship in 1962 to photograph what
became a documentation of the "Civil
Rights Movement". This work included
images from an early Malcolm X rally in
Harlem, steel workers in Chicago, Ku Klux
Klan cross burnings, migrant farm camps in
South Carolina, cotton pickers in Georgia
and the protest marches and demonstrations
in Birmingham and Selma, Alabama. In 1963
the Museum of Modern Art in New York
presented his work in a "one man" show
that included, among others, these
historically important images.
In
1966 he was awarded the first grant for
photography from the National Endowment
for the Arts, and spent two years
documenting one block in East Harlem. This
work was published by Harvard University
Press in 1970 under the title "East 100th
Street". The work became an exhibition
that same year at the Museum of Modern Art
in New York.
He
extended his view of the city with
Subway, which explored New York's
subterranean world, using color to express
mood. Completed a decade later, Central
Park was a four-year encounter with
the convergence of humanity, nature, and
the city that grew into an epic
homage.
In 2002,
St. Ann's Press published a new and
expanded edition of East
100th Street. On this
occasion, Davidson made new prints from
his original negatives and has also
included photographs that did not appear
in the 1970 edition.
Bruce
Davidson is a 1998 recipient of an Open
Society Institute Individual Fellowship.
With this he went back to East Harlem
after thirty years to document the essence
of revival and rehabilitation in a
neighborhood once considered the worst
block in New York City. To complete this
exploration, Davidson presented a
community slide show and hosted a forum
where members of the neighborhood
participated.
In
addition to his many publications and
exhibitions as a still photographer,
Davidson has also directed two short
films. Living off the Land, a half
hour documentary on a father/son
relationship and their life as scavengers
in the New Jersey meadows, was shown on
CBS and received the "Critics Award" from
the American Film Institute.
Isaac Singer's Nightmare and Mrs.
Pupko's Beard, is a fictional tale
based on one of Mr. Singer's writings. It
won first prize in the fiction category at
the American Film Festival and was shown
on Public Television.
Davidson
continues to work as an editorial
photographer and his work has appeared
regularly in publications around the world
for over fifty years. His photographs have
been acquired by many major museums and
private collectors worldwide, including
Topan's "Masters of Photography"; Museum
of Modern Art, New York; the Metropolitan
Museum of Art, New York; Museum Ludwig
Koln, Germany; the George Eastman House,
Rochester, New York; and the Smithsonian,
and the International Center of
Photography.
He lives
in New York with his wife and has two
daughters.
