Ruth Orkin
註釋This book collects the black and white, New York photographs by distinguished photojournalist and filmmaker Ruth Orkin (1921-1985). Orkin was a frequent contributor to Look and Life magazines who told the stories of Manhattan life with both compassionate and dramatic images. Her numerous and now iconic photographs of celebrations, quiet moments, children at play, and the city streets have become defining images in the history of New York photography. Orkin was born in 1921 in Boston and grew up in Los Angeles before moving to New York in 1943, where she lived and worked for most of her life. Her work is in the collections of most major American museums including the Amon Carter Museum.
