- Summary
- "In the great tradition of photographers working in Chicago, Gary Stochl presents a personal vision of everyday life on the streets of downtown Chicago since 1964. And, like all great art, Stochl's images leave the viewer with an altered sense of the world." "Yet, until 2003, Stochl never showed his photographs to anyone, and this significant body of work remained unknown to the public. Self-taught and working in isolation, without the usual support a photographer is afforded by being a part of a larger artistic community, Stochl studied carefully the work of other classic street photographers, in particular Henri Cartier-Bresson and Robert Frank, and through them learned how to see. He also took to the streets, and his photographs reveal an amazingly frank perspective of people who seem to struggle with the difficulty and loneliness of contemporary urban life."--BOOK JACKET.
