Lee Friedlander, Mount Rushmore, South Dakota, 1966
Larry Burrows, Reaching Out, Mutter Ridge, Vietnam, 1969
September 14, 2020
Photographs taken decades earlier often have an uncanny way of inserting themselves into contemporary discourse, thus making them more durable and open to interpretation than first intended. Taken over fifty years ago, Lee Friedlander’s “Mount Rushmore, South Dakota, 1966,” and Larry Burrows’ “Reaching Out, Mutter Ridge, Vietnam, 1969,” speak to our national moment, as well as create a new conversation with one another.
Additional works by each photographer are currently available.
