BLOCK 2 “Tale” The Truth
Austin was once home to one of the greatest photographers of the 20th century. For five years in the mid-1970s, Garry Winogrand taught at the University of Texas, lived in various parts of town with his wife and daughter, and prowled Austin with his camera. He photographed the UT Drag, Congress Avenue, Eeyore's Birthday Party, Town Lake, the Texas State Capitol, airshows at Bergstrom AFB, and on and on. Thousands, tens of thousands -- no, maybe a hundred thousand photographs taken in Austin. Sadly, Garry died in 1984. "Winogrand in Austin 1973-1978" looks back at this unexplored chapter of photography and of Austin history through interviews with people who knew Garry in the day, through archival photographs and video, and with some well-known and never-before-seen Winogrand photographs from that time.
