Bruce Davidson began taking photographs at the age of ten in Oak Park, Illinois. He became a full member of Magnum in 1958 and created such seminal bodies of work as “The Dwarf,” Brooklyn Gang,” and “Freedom Rides.” In 1963, the Museum of Modern Art in New York presented his early work in a solo show. His work witnessing the dire social conditions on one block in East Harlem was published in 1970 under the title East 100th Street. In 1980, he captured the vitality of the New York Metro’s underworld that was later published in a book, Subway. His awards include the Lucie Award for Outstanding Achievement in Documentary Photography in 2004 and a Gold Medal Lifetime Achievement Award from the National Arts Club in 2007.
