On Assignment: The photojournalism of Horace Bristol at the Fred Jones Museum of Art, Oklahoma
The ongoing exhibition at the Fred Jones Museum of Art is a large scale retrospective of Bristol’s work, beginning with the striking portraits of migrant laborers in California that he took with John Steinbeck, and whose story was the inspiration for Steinbeck’s novel The Grapes of Wrath. It also includes images taken for the U.S. Navy under acclaimed photographer Edward Steichen, and photographs of war ravaged Japan Bristol took for his East-West Photographic agency.
