Vivian Maier

Vivian Maier is the ultimate story of artistic discovery. A nanny by trade, she spent decades capturing the streets of Chicago and New York with a Rolleiflex camera, leaving behind over 150,000 negatives that were only discovered after her death. Her work is a brilliant, candid archive of mid-century American life, characterized by a unique eye for irony, light, and human behavior. Maiers story has inspired a new generation of photographers to find beauty in the mundane and to value the act of creation for its own sake.
