Outsiders: American Photography and Film 1950s-1980s

Edited by Sophie Hackett and Jim Shedden, Foreword by Stephanie Smith, Contributions by Katherine A. Bussard and Martha Kirszenbaum

Idealists, outsiders, and those brave enough to be themselves, as depicted by visionary photographers and filmmakers including Diane Arbus and Nan Goldin, reveal another America. A visual tour through life at the margins in the United States from the late 1950s to the early 1980s, Outsiders highlights the work of iconic photographers and filmmakers who profoundly changed the image of American culture. Kenneth Anger, Diane Arbus, Shirley Clarke, Nan Goldin, Danny Lyon, Garry Winogrand, and their contemporaries challenged rigid postwar society with their powerful films and photographs. 

Outsiders captures diverse and significant subcultures and interests, united by each subject’s will to determine his or her own identity.
