Description

Introduced in 1935 as the primary brand new color film, Kodachrome used to be used extensively after World War II by amateur photographers equipped with the brand new top of the range and low cost 35mm cameras. Americans in Kodachrome 1945–1965 is an unprecedented portrayal of the day by day life of the people right through these formative years of brand new American culture. It’s created from ninety-five exceptional color photographs made by over ninety unknown American photographers. These photographs were chosen from many thousands of slides in hundreds of collections. Like folk art in other mediums, this work is characterized by its frankness, honesty, and vigor. Made as memoirs of friends and family, the photographs reveal a free-spirited, intuitive approach, and possess a clarity and unpretentiousness characteristic of this unheralded photographic folk art. Conceived as a book and nation-wide exhibition, Americans in Kodachrome: 1945–1965 is an evocative and haunting portrait of an historic generation of Americans. – Guy Stricherz
