–Regarding Place: Photographs From The University Art Collections

Meyerowitz’s work in is in the tradition of Henri Cartier-Bresson and Robert 
Frank, who, like him, shot street photography. Meyerowitz, however, 
transitioned from black-and-white to color film, becoming one of the first 
to popularize and adapt the method. Although Lake in Catskill Mountains 
(Woman throws crutches) isn’t in color, it still works in the same method of 
the photographer as bystander, capturing a shot of the everyday goings-
on of people. His timing and framing is brilliant as he catches the subject 
throwing the crutches up in the air in joy. In all the other action of the 
scene, Meyerowitz is able to find his main subject, while not feeling staged 
or artificial. It feels like a memory of anyone on vacation at the lake, playing 
with their kids.
