Like Robert Capa and Margaret Bourke-White, Carl Mydans helped to transform American photojournalism from a source of inert head shots and ceremonious poses into a supple narrative art. As a staff photographer for LIFE, Mydans was present and accounted for at the darkest moments of a dark century: the Depression, World War II, Korea and Viet Nam. The retrospective of his work at the Amon Carter Museum in Fort Worth offers a chance to review his pictures uncoupled from the periods they defined and the magazine pages they were designed to serve. A museum show is the acid test...
...classmates in such outsized, metaphorical terms. Concentrating in Visual and Environmental Sciences—“I finally ended up there because I could get academic credit for the pictures and movies,” he recalls—Carlson studied the great 20th-century photography of Robert Capa, Larry Burroughs and Henri Cartier-Bresson, hoping some day to follow them in documenting breaking tragedies for the rest of the globe...
...Artist as Clown at the Galeries Nationales du Grand Palais (March 11-May 31). With 200 paintings, drawings, sculptures, film clips and installations, the show covers two centuries of this circus lineup, as envisioned by 83 artists including Goya, Ensor, Klee, Beckmann, Dix, Picasso, Bonnard, Hopper, Freud, Robert Capa and Diane Arbus. It's a perilous leap from Chardin's delightful The Monkey Painter and Toulouse-Lautrec's bitter yellow La Clownesse Cha-U-Kao to video artist Pierrick Sorin's ad nauseam Pie Fight, but like Paris itself, there is something for just about everyone in this three-ring...
...Barcelona before moving on to Berlin and Rome. As for the Henri Cartier-Bresson Foundation, its inaugural show offers 90 works by other photographers Cartier-Bresson admires - including Walker Evans, Robert Doisneau, Sebastião Salgado, as well as Cartier-Bresson's fellow founders of Magnum, David Seymour, Robert Capa and George Rodger. But for all Cartier-Bresson's efforts to draw the spotlight off his own photographs, the retrospective will not let him get away with it. His powerful black-and-white, natural-light photographs - formally rigorous, timeless and often enigmatic - adorn the BNF's vast exhibit space. Cartier...
...photojournalist Robert Capa once said, "If your pictures aren't good enough, you're not close enough." For Gulf War II, TIME's photographers are as close as they can be. Yuri Kozyrev, James Nachtwey and Patrick Robert are in Baghdad, getting pictures of the city as it suffers the trauma of bombardment. Four others--James Hill, Benjamin Lowy, Christopher Morris and Robert Nickelsberg--are traveling with U.S. forces as they fight their way north. Kate Brooks, Thomas Dworzak and Yunghi Kim are already there, with the Kurds in northern Iraq. Here is some of what they...
