The first comprehensive consideration of Life magazine’s groundbreaking and influential contribution to the history of photography

From the Great Depression to the Vietnam War, the vast majority of the photographs printed and consumed in the United States appeared on the pages of illustrated magazines. Offering an in-depth look at the photography featured in Life magazine throughout its weekly run from 1936 to 1972, this volume examines how the magazine’s use of images fundamentally shaped the modern idea of photography in the United States. The work of photographers both celebrated and overlooked—including Margaret Bourke-White, Larry Burrows, Henri Cartier-Bresson, Frank Dandridge, Alfred Eisenstaedt, Fritz Goro, Gordon Parks, and W. Eugene Smith—is explored in the context of the creative and editorial structures at Life. Contributions from 25 scholars in a range of fields, from art history to American studies, provide insights into how the photographs published in Life—used to promote a predominately white, middle-class perspective—came to play a role in cultural dialogues in the United States around war, race, technology, art, and national identity.

Drawing on unprecedented access to Life magazine’s picture and paper archives, as well as photographers’ archives, this generously illustrated volume presents previously unpublished materials, such as caption files, contact sheets, and shooting scripts, that shed new light on the collaborative process behind many now-iconic images and photo-essays.

A third case has four year undercover work to Hoover Damn and more or less daily communication to Director and Staff. I reported hundreds of millions of dollar to numbered account around the world; yet determine entirety fraud. My cases passed 1/4 billion dollars, and were taken to be supervised by National Security Agency HQ. I offer ideals of reasoning or intent to drag intelligence into an east or rejection of logic.

Sunday the 4th of September, I make my way to the beach and set up my camera. I wait. Sunrise is only a few minutes away. I am alone, standing here looking towards the point where sea and sky are one; the rest of the shoreline is completely deserted. It is truly a moment of complete calm and peace. Not a sound to be heard, save that of the sea and the occasional gull, the wind and my own breath. Then all seems to pause as the first arc of the sun crests the horizon, gracefully making its grand entrance into the morning sky. Great artists and their works have been admired throughout history. Michelangelo and the Sistine Chapel, Leonardo and the Mona Lisa to name but two. Yet none can equal the awe inspiring majesty of our sun rising into a new day, an enduring gift from the greatest artist of all.
