The photographer captured a fleeting cultural moment with his seminal 1973 book.
Bill Owens' "Reagan on TV" is on display as part of the "Suburbia" exhibition at Photographs Do Not Bend Gallery through Feb. 12. The year 1968 was a tumultuous time in American history. The country was embroiled in riots and protests over the escalating U.S. involvement in the Vietnam War and the assassinations of Martin Luther King Jr. and Robert Kennedy.
Struck by his newfound suburban lifestyle, particularly the young ages and outlooks of its residents, Owens spent a year documenting his surroundings. The resulting book,, first published in 1973, became a seminal work of 20th century photography. Prints from the portfolio are currently on view at Photographs Do Not Bend Gallery.
Bill Owens released one of the seminal works of 20th century photography with his 1973 book "Suburbia." The combination of Owens’ influences, images and quotes yields a project that treads the line between community narrative and social commentary. For every family with two young kids, there is a hot tub full of rowdy middle-agers or newlyweds who have almost no furniture or sex-positive couples with mirrored bedrooms.
