Bruce Davidson Biography

(b Chicago, IL, 1933). American photographer. While still at school he took photography lessons using a Rolleiflex. He studied photography at Rochester Institute of Technology, NY (1951–4), then philosophy, painting, photography and (under Josef Albers) graphic design at Yale University, New Haven, CT (1955). While serving in the US Army (1955–7), he was stationed in Paris where he met Henri Cartier-Bresson and photographed Montmartre, Les Halles and other areas, in the style of Alfred Stieglitz. In 1958 he joined Magnum Photos, working as a fashion photographer and becoming a prominent photojournalist. He covered the race riots in the American South during the 1960s, and his work appeared in many leading international magazines. He is best known for numerous photographic essays on people living on the fringe of society (e.g. Clown , 1958; Rochester, NY, Int. Mus. Phot.), recorded with sensitivity and a visual richness, which were hallmarks of his style.
