The Family of Man - GrandPhotography Exhibition
United States Information Service, 1957
In 1955 for the 25thanniversary of the New York Museum of Modern Art its Photography Department(chief curator Edward Steichen) organised an exhibition titled <The Familyof a Man> (1995.1.26-5.8). Under the slogan “Men Are One”, it featured 503pictures from 273 photographers from 68 countries depicting the happiness andsorrows of the four phases of human’s life. Photographs from Korea were alsoincluded.
The exhibition was organised withthe support of the US Overseas Information Bureau and travelled to over 40countries. At first Korea was excluded from the itinerary but upon photographerIm Eung-Shik's numerous requests to the US Embassy's Culture and InformationDepartment the exhibition eventually opened in Korea, too.
As a result, numerous changes inthe world of Korean photography occurred such as the organising of Dong-A PhotoContest and the establishment of photography section in the National Exhibition(Gukjeon).
This catalogue was published inKorea in 2018.
