 In 1936 a group of young, idealistic photographers, most of them Jewish, first-generation Americans, formed an organization in Manhattan called the Photo League. Their solidarity centered on a belief in the expressive power of the documentary photograph and on a progressive alliance in the 1930s of socialist ideas and art. Members rejected the prevailing style of modernism in order to engage the gritty realities of urban life. Leaguers focused on New York, and this meant looking closely at ordinary people.

Featuring works by celebrated League photographers, including Berenice Abbott, Sid Grossman, Lisette Model, and Weegee, The Radical Camera: New York's Photo League, 1936-1951 takes an in-depth look at the League's accomplishments from the end of the Great Depression to the start of the Cold War. By its demise in 1951, the League had propelled documentary photography from factual images to more challenging ones--from bearing witness to questioning one’s own bearings in the world.
