Smith, W. Eugene: SM103 - W. Eugene Smith
Smith, the legendary photojournalist whose unforgettable photographs have touched the minds and hearts of millions. He was one of the originators of a new art form: the photgraphic essay. As a photographer for Life magazine, he documented subjects as varied as a Japanese mother bathing her blind, maimed daughter; Spanish villagers struggling to survive under Franco’s rule; and in one of hismost familiar phots, a triumphant Harry Truman flaunting the premature headling “Dewey Defeats Truman”. Archival footage and interviews with Smith’s family, friend, and colleagues bear witness to the genius, and the legacy of this complicated and compassionate man.
