Bruce Davidson’s East 100th Street Social Club

Bruce Davidson is an American photographer known for his humanist and intimate approach to documentary style photography. Chronicling some of the most important stories of the 20th century, his photographs have profiled subject matters such as the Civil Rights Movement, subways, circus performers and the rise of the teen culture in America. These stories desire to reveal the complexities of individual lives and societal concerns. He has often photographed rebels, teens, activists and outsiders which highlighted underrepresented groups of midcentury America during a turbulent time in history.
