...Photography (ICP) in New York City from June 9 to Aug. 27. The exhibit is drawn from the ICP's collection of 20,000 of his original prints from the 1930s to the 1950s, and will showcase over 100 of his rarely seen images, including his often gruesome tabloid-documentarist style: murder victims sprawled on boardwalks covered with bloody drop cloths; crime-scene chalk drawings on sidewalks of bodies since removed.

And while he expanded the viewer's understanding of the way stories can be told, he helped change the way the world is seen on film. In Red Desert (1964), he reflected the industrial and emotional decay of modern Ravenna in skies streaked like a sulfurous rainbow...
...Jutra's conception is not romantic -- no more than Walker Evan's photographs of the depression. The two come together with passion. The depth of this passion appears only much later. At this point, the emotional attachment of the viewer is still vague. We watch as if through a documentarist's camera...
