Back to Eugene Richards: The Run-On of Time at George Eastman Museum
About
Statement
This retrospective exhibition features the work of Eugene Richards, one of the world’s most respected photographers. Richards is devoted to socially committed photography that focuses on the diverse, often complex lives of Americans, as well as the ongoing struggles of the poor.
Press Release
Richards’s photographs speak to the most profound aspects of human experience: birth, family, mortality, economic inequality and the human cost of war are recurring themes. His style is unflinching yet poetic, his photographs deeply rooted in the texture of lived experience. In his wide range of photographs, writings, and videos he works to increasingly involve his audience in the lives of people in ways that are challenging, lyrical, melancholy, and often beautiful. Ultimately, Richards’s photographs illuminate aspects of humanity that might otherwise be overlooked.
