Product Description
The Animals is a classic photo book by the incessant, masterful photographer Garry Winogrand, reissued in a new edition by The Museum of Modern Art, New York, which first published the book in 1968. In it, Winogrand leaves the streets of the city for the caged aisles of the real urban jungle, the zoo, where he captures some of the more humiliating and strange moments in the lives of God's creatures. See a lion stick its tongue out between chain-link fencing, an orangutan pee into another's mouth, a hippo give a great big yawn, two lions lamely going at it, and seals watching lovers kiss. Winogrand's zoo, even if true, is a grotesquery. It is a surreal Disneyland where unlikely human beings and jaded careerist animals stare at each other through bars, exhibiting bad manners and a mutual failure to recognize their own ludicrous predicaments. --John Szarkowski
Essay by John Szarkowski. Clothbound, 10 x 8.5 in./48 pgs / 46 duotones.

 Remarkable Book June 12, 2007
A genuinely outstanding book. The photographs are so strong on so many different levels, composition, humor, remarkably catching moments that happen to be colliding in one frame. It's one of the best photography books I've come across. I wish there were more collections of his work in print. It's simply a great book.

Winogrand has a good sense of humour and his time spent in the zoo with his kids was put to good use. Much more interesting than the airports book but for me Figments from the Real World rocks harder...It's not expensive so worth putting in the collection!
