Lee Friedlander began his professional career in photography in the mid-1950s and achieved high-level recognition for his personal work in the early 1960s. Friedlander’s ironic vision charges the most familiar aspects of the social landscape with an ominous unease. This work, for example, evokes television’s hypnotic allure and its seductive—perhaps even surreal—presence in virtually every American home.
