Community: The Photography of Milton Rogovin
Buffalo Center for Arts and Technology
"Community," an exhibition organized by R:A, celebrates the photography of Milton Rogovin (1909-2011) here in Western New York. Rogovin is internationally respected as one of America’s finest social documentary photographers. His work is often compared to the twentieth-century photography of Lewis Hine and Jacob Riis. Rogovin traveled the world documenting the everyday lives of people he referred to as, “The Forgotten Ones”: working class residents of Buffalo, Chileans (a collaboration with poet Pablo Neruda), miners, steelworkers, citizens of Appalachia, Native Americans, and members of Buffalo’s Yemeni population, among others.
