Women Are Beautiful

[Garry Winogrand]

A seminal book by the American street photographer Garry Winogrand. Women Are Beautiful presents over eighty images by the photographer. Winogrand's sense of beauty is not confined to good looks, it is about energy and purpose. In her essay Helen Gary Bishop writes, 'he has caught the conflict of the feminine creature: the body as object vying with the self as person.'
