the same

pitch and

key,

each saying. I

I

am

a

member of

the

Family.

Many

the

babies and

grownups

here from

photographs

made in sixty-eight

nations

round

our

planet Earth.

You

travel and see what

the

camera saw. The

wonder

of human

mind,

heart,

wit and instinct,

is

here. You might catch

your-

self

saying.

Tm

not

a

stranger here.

People

flung

wide

and

far,

born

into

toil, struggle,

blood

and dreams,

among

lovers,

eaters,

drinkers,

workers,

loafers, fighters, players, gamblers.

Here

are

ironworkers,

bridgemen. musicians, sandhogs. miners,

builders

of

huts

and skyscrapers,

jungle

hunters,

landlords

and the

landless,

the loved and

the unloved,

the lonely and

abandoned,

the brutal and the compassionate—one

big faniilv

hugging close to

the ball

of

Earth

for its

life

and

being.

Here or

there

you may

witness

a

startling

harmony

where

you

say.

This

will

be

haunting

me

a long time with

a

loveliness

I hope

to

understand

better.

In

a

seething of

saints

and sinners, winners

or

losers,

in a

womb

of super-

stition, faith,

genius,

crime,

sacrifice,

here

is

the

People,

the

one

and

only

source

of

armies,

navies, work-gangs,

the living flowing breath of the history of

nations, ever lighted

by the

realit\

or

illusion of

hope.

Hope

is

a

sustaining

human gift.

Everywhere

is

love

and love-making, weddings

and babies

from

generation

to

generation

keeping the

Family

of

Man alive and continuing.

Everywhere

the sun.

moon

and

stars, the climates

and weathers, have

meanings

for people.

Though

meanings

vary,

we

are

alike in

all

couiitries

and tribes in

trying to

read

what sk\

to

us. Alike

and

ever

alike we

are

on

all conti-

nents

in the need of

love,

food,

clothing, work, speech, worship,

sleep,

games,

dancing, fun. From tropics to arctics

humanity

lives with

these needs so

alike,

so

inexorably

alike.

Hands

here,

hands

gnarled

as

thorntree roots and others soft as faded

rose

leaves.

Hands

reaching,

praying

and

groping,

hands holding

tools, torches,

brooms, fishnets, hands doubled in

fists

of flaring

anger,

hands moving in

caress

of beloved

faces.

The

hands and feet of

children

playing

ring-around-

and

The

earliest

man. ages ago, had tools,

weapons,

cattle,

as

seen

in his

cave

drawings.

And

like him the latest

man

of

our day has

his

tools,

weapons,

cattle.

The

earliest

man

struggled

through

inexpressibly

dark

chaos

of hunger,

fear,

violence,

sex.

A

long

journey it has been from that

early Family

of

Man to

the

one

of

today

which has

become

a

still

more

prodigious

spectacle.

H the human

face is

the masterpiece

of God

here

then

in

the

faces

speak what

a

clean

with

faces

crooked

and

and

Faces in

of music

or a

There is

Introduction

by

Edward

Steichen

I believe The

Family

of

Man

exhibition, produced

and shown first

at

the

Museum

of Modern Art in

New

York and

now

being circulated

throughout the

world, is the most ambitious

and challenging

project photography

has ever

attempted.

The exhibition, now

permanently presented on

the

pages

of this

book,

demonstrates

that

the art of

photography is

a

dynamic process of

giving form

to ideas

and of explaining

man to

man. It was conceived as a

mirror of

the

universal elements

and emotions

in the

everydayness

of

life

—

as

a

mirror

of

the essential oneness

of

mankind throughout the

world.

We sought and selected photographs, made in all

parts of the world,

of the

gamut of life from birth to death with emphasis on

the

daily

relationships of

man to

himself,

to his familv.

to

the

community

and to the

world

we

live

in-

subject

matter ranging

from

babies

to

philosophers,

from

the

kindergarten

to the

university,

from

primitive

peoples to

the Councils

of the

United Nations.

Photographs of

lovers

and marriage

and

child-bearing, of

the family

unit

with

its

jovs.

trials

and

tribulations,

its

deep-rooted

devotions and its

antagonisms.

Photographs

of

the

home

in

all its

warmth

and

magnificence,

its

heartaches

and

exaltations.

Photographs of

the

individual

and the

familv

unit

in

its re-



''s

photograph

of

the entrance

into

the

enhibit.

Paul

Rudolph wos the

architec

actions to

the

beginnings

of

life

and continuing on through death

and burial.

Photographs concerned

with man in

relation to his environment, to the beauty

and richness of the earth

he

has inherited

and what he has

done

with this

inheritance,

the

good and

the

great

things,

the stupid

and the destructive things.

Photographs

concerned with the religious

rather

than

religions. With

basic

human

consciousness

rather

than

social

consciousness.

Photographs

concerned

with

man's

dreams

and

aspirations

and

photographs

of

the flaming

creative

forces

of

love

and truth

and

the

corrosive

evil

inherent

in the lie.

For almost three

years

we have

been

searching for these images. Over

two

million photographs from

every corner of the

earth

have

come to

us

— from

individuals,

collections,

and

files.

We screened

them

until we had ten

thousand.

Then came the almost

unbearable

task of

reducing

these

to .503

photographs

from

6(5

countries. The

photographers

who

tooic

them

—

273 men

and

women

—

are

amateurs

and

professionals,

famed

and

unknowTi.

All

of this could

not

have

been

accomplished without

the

dedicated

efforts

of

mv

a.ssistant,

Wavne

Miller,

and

the

tireless

devotion

of

our

staff.

The Family of

Man has

been created

in

a

passionate

spirit

of

devoted

love

and

faith

in

man.
