Photography

Photographs: The Family of Man photographic exhibit opens January 23 at New York's Museum of Modern Art with 500 images from 68 countries. Arranged by Edward Steichen to convey the idea that mankind is universal, the most varied collection of pictures in the history of photography will tour America and much of the world. It includes photographs by people such as Irving Penn and notably the 1947 work The Walk in Paradise Garden by W. Eugene Smith.
