Life Magazine published these photos saying, “Dead men will have indeed died in vain if live men refuse to look at them.”

They did this because regulations forbid any identification except dog tags, in preparation for their night raid on German positions.]]> 2020-12-09 17:04:26 UTC https://padlet.com/ct1996/ku0qiu9r54ep6cui/wish/1003041125 ct1996 https://padlet.com/ct1996/ku0qiu9r54ep6cui/wish/1003110129 Stieglitz was a major force in the promotion and elevation of photography as a fine art in America in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. His own photographs had an equally revolutionary impact on the advancement of the medium.

It was proclaimed by the artist and illustrated in histories of the medium as his first "modernist" photograph.]]> 2020-12-13 09:06:07 UTC https://padlet.com/ct1996/ku0qiu9r54ep6cui/wish/1013253920 ct1996 https://padlet.com/ct1996/ku0qiu9r54ep6cui/wish/1013257017 This photograph of Georgia O'Keeffe  is part of an extraordinary composite portrait. Stieglitz thought that the photo should not focus only on the face, but should be a record of a persons's expressive movements, emotions, and gestures in order to collectively evoke a life.
He said, "To demand the portrait that will be a complete portrait of any person is as futile as to demand that a motion picture be condensed into a single still."]]> 2020-12-13 09:09:33 UTC https://padlet.com/ct1996/ku0qiu9r54ep6cui/wish/1013257017 ct1996 https://padlet.com/ct1996/ku0qiu9r54ep6cui/wish/1013261216 This is a photograph of the construction of the skyscrapers of midtown Manhattan from Stieglitz's windows of his gallery and of his nearby apartment in the Shelton Towers. His photographs seem not to celebrate the astonishing growth of new buildings but rather almost geological permanence and stability.]]> 2020-12-13 09:13:52 UTC https://padlet.com/ct1996/ku0qiu9r54ep6cui/wish/1013261216 ct1996 https://padlet.com/ct1996/ku0qiu9r54ep6cui/wish/1013266617 Margaret's photograph of the Chrysler Building in New York was the rocket trajectory of her ascending career. Her portrait of the Art Deco masterpiece is futuristic and self-celebratory.]]> 2020-12-13 09:18:54 UTC https://padlet.com/ct1996/ku0qiu9r54ep6cui/wish/1013266617 ct1996 https://padlet.com/ct1996/ku0qiu9r54ep6cui/wish/1018564489 Alfred Eisenstaedt also worked closely with Margaret Bourke as a another prominent LIFE Magazine photographer. This image shows British Prime Minister Winston Churchill flashing the "V for Victory" sign in Liverpool, England in 1951. This gesture served to inspire and unite millions as a rallying emblem during WW2. This photo was featured in the LIFE magazine.]]> 2020-12-15 02:06:50 UTC https://padlet.com/ct1996/ku0qiu9r54ep6cui/wish/1018564489 ct1996 https://padlet.com/ct1996/ku0qiu9r54ep6cui/wish/1018717839 This photograph took place post-war in 1960. Senator John F. Kennedy was in his office after being nominated at the democratic convention.

Taken right at the moment when Saint George slays the mythical best, Eisenstaedt captures the thrill, shock, pleasure and horror of the children as they watch the story unfold. Eisenstaedt depicts all the innocence of youth in their reactions to the storytelling.]]> 2020-12-15 03:36:18 UTC https://padlet.com/ct1996/ku0qiu9r54ep6cui/wish/1018725921 ct1996 https://padlet.com/ct1996/ku0qiu9r54ep6cui/wish/1018736103 Charles Moore photographed the civil rights movement. Moore’s image of a police dog tearing into a black protester’s pants captured the routine brutality of segregation. When the picture was published in LIFE, it quickly became apparent to the rest of the world what Moore had long known: ending segregation was not about eroding culture but about restoring humanity. Hesitant politicians soon took up the cause and passed the Civil Rights Act of 1964 nearly a year later. ]]> 2020-12-15 03:43:07 UTC https://padlet.com/ct1996/ku0qiu9r54ep6cui/wish/1018736103 ct1996 https://padlet.com/ct1996/ku0qiu9r54ep6cui/wish/1018771543 Josef Koudelka is a young Moravian-born engineer who took wistful and gritty photos of Czech life. He took pictures of the swirling turmoil and created a groundbreaking record of the invasion that would change the course of his nation. The most seminal piece includes a man’s arm in the foreground, showing on his wristwatch a moment of the Soviet invasion with a deserted street in the distance. It beautifully encapsulates time, loss and emptiness—and the strangling of a society.
His pictures were smuggled out of Czechoslovakia and appeared in the London Sunday Times in 1969]]> 2020-12-15 04:08:49 UTC https://padlet.com/ct1996/ku0qiu9r54ep6cui/wish/1018771543 ct1996 https://padlet.com/ct1996/ku0qiu9r54ep6cui/wish/1018780190 Sam Nzima was at a protest with Soweto students outside South Africa in 1976. He spotted Pieterson fall down as gunfire showered above. He kept taking pictures as terrified high schooler Mbuyisa Makhubu picked up the lifeless boy and ran. The peaceful protest soon turned into a violent uprising, claiming hundreds of lives across South Africa. 
The picture’s publication forced Nzima into hiding amid death threats, but its effect could not have been more visible. Suddenly the world could no longer ignore apartheid. The seeds of international opposition that would eventually topple the racist system had been planted by a photograph. ]]> 2020-12-15 04:15:35 UTC https://padlet.com/ct1996/ku0qiu9r54ep6cui/wish/1018780190 ct1996 https://padlet.com/ct1996/ku0qiu9r54ep6cui/wish/1018786607 This photograph witnesses Chinese troops attacking pro-democracy demonstrators. He photographed a man carrying shopping bags stepped in front of the war machines, waving his arms and refusing to move.
"Tank Man" became a global hero but he remains unidentified. The anonymity makes the photograph all the more universal, a symbol of resistance to unjust regimes everywhere.]]> 2020-12-15 04:20:28 UTC https://padlet.com/ct1996/ku0qiu9r54ep6cui/wish/1018786607
