Catalogue Note
'In photography the formal issue might be stated as this: How much of the camera's miraculous desc🍨riptive power is the photographer capable of handling? Or how much complexity can he make simple? Or, conversely, how much diversity must he sacrifice for the sake of order?
'Consider Garry Winogrand's picture: so rich in fact and suggestion, and so justly resolved; more complex and more beautiful than the movie that Alfred HItchcock might derive from it' (John Szarkowski, Looking at Photographs, p. 188).
