Description
Examining images by photographers such as Weegee and Aaron Siskind and fiction by writers such as William Carlos Williams, Richard Wright, Tillie Olsen, and Pietro di Donato, he argues that these artists drew attention to the country’s most vulnerable residents by using what he calls an “aesthetic of astonishment,” focused on startling, graphic images of pain, injury, and prejudice.
