BRUCE LANDON DAVIDSON
2025-10-20During military service in Paris, Davidson met Henri Cartier-Bresson, one of the founders of Magnum Photos, and in 1958 became a full member. He worked as a freelance photographer for Life from 1958 to 1961. Davidson created such seminal bodies of work as Circus, Brooklyn Gang, and Freedom Riders. During this period of professional growth, the late Henry Geldzahler, former Curator of Modern Art at the Metropolitan Museum, New York, said of this work, “The ability to enter so sympathetically into what seems superficially an alien environment remains Bruce Davidson’s sustained triumph; in his investigation he becomes the friendly recorder of tenderness and tragedy.”
