520 Horace Bristol shot some of the most significant
photographs of the 20th century, compelling images that
have become icons of our past. He captured emotional
moments, set against a backdrop of history in the making.
Horace was among the first contributors to Life magazine,
photographing migrant labor camps in a series that became
the basis for The Grapes of Wrath. He circled the globe in
World War II with Edward Steichen's Navy photography unit.
He spent the postwar decade documenting the changing way
of life in Japan and Asia, covering Emperor Hirohito,
General MacArthur, Chiang Kai-Shek, Prince Sihanouk, and
the wars in Korea. China, and Vietnam. His photographs
countered the numerous stereotypes of Asian culture
perpetrated at the time. Bristol's photographs were lost
for forty years after he destroyed every print he could
find in a terrible act of self-recrimination when his wife
committed suicide in 1955. Incredibly, three footlockers
containing over 3,000 of his negatives were discovered in
1995. Rock superstar Graham Nash, a photographer and
collector himself, initiated the restoration of Bristol's
life's work. At an advanced age, Bristol was recognized as
one of the most important photographers of the 20th
century, with work in major museums throughout North
America.
