Paul Strand : The World on My Doorstep, 1950-1976

"So finally, it can be seen that what I have explored all my life is the world on my doorstep...The artist's world is limitless. It can be found everywhere, far from where he lives or a few feet away." --Paul StrandFrom 1950 to 1976 Paul Strand and his wife Hazel traveled throughout Italy, France, the Outer Hebrides, Egypt, Morocco, Ghana, and Romania, creating work that changed the way we look at photographs.
