He is widely recognized for his influential style of capturing the urban social landscape.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003eFriedlander’s black and white photographs navigate the intersections of architecture, signage, commercial detritus, reflections, and human presence — often compressing multiple visual planes into a single, dynamic frame. He emerged in the 1960s alongside peers such as Diane Arbus and Garry Winogrand, and was featured in John Szarkowski’s influential \u003cem data-end=\"840\" data-start=\"825\"\u003eNew Documents\u003c\/em\u003e exhibition at the Museum of Modern Art, New York.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis photograph of Lafayette, LA, exemplifies the artist's ability to capture street life with a skilled formal subtlety. Friedlander records his likeness in the foreground of this photograph, his head's shadow cast onto the painted lower half of a telephone pole. The artist and his shadow look on to the scene in front of them: a group of solidiers standing under a sign that reads \"SPUR\"; a woman with short hair, white boots, and a sequin jumpsuit holds a baton in her outstretched arms as she strides down the open street. The high contrast and angle of capture allow Friedlander to dissolve the boundary between observer and environment, inviting a deep encounter with the presented scene.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis photograph is held in the permanent collections of the \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.moma.org\/collection\/works\/55976\"\u003eMoMA\u003c\/a\u003e, New York; the \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.nga.gov\/artworks\/118328-louisiana\"\u003eNational Gallery\u003c\/a\u003e, Washington, DC; the \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.moca.org\/collection\/work\/louisiana\"\u003emoca\u003c\/a\u003e, Los Angeles.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eQuestions about this artwork? \u003c\/span\u003e\u003ca href=\"mailto:info@caviar20.com\"\u003eContact us\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cspan\u003e, call +1.416.704.1720, or visit our Toronto gallery.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\"Lafayette, Louisiana\"\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eUSA, 1968\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eGelatin silver print, printed later\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003eSigned, titled, dated, and stamped, on verso\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e11\"H 14\"W (work)\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e16\"H 20\"W (framed)\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eVery good condition.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLiterature:\u003cbr\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003cem\u003eLee Friedlander: Self Portrait\u003c\/em\u003e.
