Opening March 6: LIFE: Six Women Photographers presents the work of pioneering women photographers employed by LIFE magazine between the late 1930s and early 1970s, whose iconic images captured an evolving world and helped create modern photojournalism. Featuring over 70 images by Margaret Bourke-White, Nina Leen, Lisa Larsen, Hansel Mieth, Martha Holmes, and Marie Hansen, the exhibition details how these photographers and their work were integral to LIFE founder and editor-in-chief Henry R. Luce’s vision for an “American Century.” Organized by the New-York Historical Society.
