The Social Scene: Ralph R. Parsons Foundation Photography Collection

The Social Scene: Ralph R. Parsons Foundation Photography Collection

Essays by curator Cornelia H. Butler, Max Kozloff, A.D. Coleman, Liz Kotz, and Emily Aer.

Published on the occasion ofĀ the exhibition The Social Scene: The Ralph M. Parsons Foundation Photography Collection,Ā MOCA, Los Angeles June 4, 2000- August 20, 2000.

A photograph can serve as as both witness and catalyst, art object and call to action. In this catalog of a pivotal exhibition of works from the Ralph R. Parsons Photography Collection at the Museum of Contemporary Art, Los Angeles, photographs capture the heartbeat and mindset of America. Works by French photographer Brassai set the stage; the bulk of the exhibition features photographs by Robert Frank, Helen Levitt , Diane Arbus, Lee Friedlander and Garry Winogrand, among others. When many of these works were first shown, they were met with criticism and outrage, but today, we've accepted them as profound documents of our nation and era.Ā
