Jewish Influence on Modern Photography with Bill Aron
 


Jews have played an outsized role in the history of American photography, at least as important a role as blacks in the development of jazz. Although it is true that a number of Jews in Eastern Europe were active in photography during the period of its first growth in the 19th century, it was only in the 20th century and in America that the numbers involved in every facet of the art became large, and their talents very conspicuous.

We will highlight the aesthetic and substantive contributions of some of the more influential Jewish photographers of recent generations beginning with Roman Vishniac (of course), before moving on to more modern visualizations.
