Edward Steichen: The Family of Man

The Family of Man Exhibition, Museum of Modern Art, 1955 503 photos from 68 countries curated by Edward Steichen

“The exhibition demonstrates that the art

of photography is a dynamic process of giving

form to ideas and of explaining man to man. It was conceived as a mirror of the universal elements

and emotions in the everydayness of life- as a

mirror of the essential oneness of mankind

throughout the world.”
