Stories From Life: The Photography of Horace Bristol
This catalogue accompanied the first East Coast exhibition of the photographs of Horace Bristol, one of the first staff photographers for Life magazine. Bristol collaborated with author John Steinbeck on a project documenting the plight of migrant workers in California; this project was the impetus for Steinbeck's classic The Grapes of Wrath. During World War II Bristol traveled with Edward Steichen to document the Pacific battles; he remained in Japan after the war to cover the reconstruction. The catalogue includes an introductory essay by Bristol; a biographical essay by museum director William U. Eiland; a scholarly essay by Patricia Berman, professor of art history at Wellesley College; and a complete catalogue of the exhibition.
