Hailed as the most successful and inspiring exhibition of
photography ever assembled The Family of Man opened at The Museum
of Modern Art in January 1955. This book, the permanent embodiment
of Steichen’s monumental exhibition, reproduces all of the 503
images that Steichen described as “a mirror of the essential
oneness of mankind throughout the world... Photographs, made in all
parts of the world, of the gamut of life from birth to death...
Photographs of lovers and marriage and child-bearing... Photographs
concerned with man’s dreams and aspirations and photographs of
the flaming creative forces of love and truth and the corrosive
evil inherent in the lie.” This is a classic and inspiring work,
in print for more than forty years.
