The Family of Man - Grand Photography Exhibition
United States Information Service, 1957
In 1955 for the 25th anniversary of the New York Museum of Modern Art its Photography Department (chief curator Edward Steichen) organised an exhibition titled <The Family of a Man> (1995.1.26-5.8). Under the slogan “Men Are One”, it featured 503 pictures from 273 photographers from 68 countries depicting the happiness and sorrows of the four phases of human’s life. Photographs from Korea were also included.
The exhibition was organised with the support of the US Overseas Information Bureau and travelled to over 40 countries. At first Korea was excluded from the itinerary but upon photographer Im Eung-Shik's numerous requests to the US Embassy's Culture and Information Department the exhibition eventually opened in Korea, too.
As a result, numerous changes in the world of Korean photography occurred such as the organising of Dong-A Photo Contest and the establishment of photography section in the National Exhibition (Gukjeon).
This catalogue was published in Korea in 2018.
