John Szarkowski on John Szarkowski: Speaking of Art (2005)

During his tenure as a Director at MoMA, he redefined the world's understanding of the art of photography and established himself as one of the giants of 20th Century art history. Once he retired from MoMA, Szarkowski returned his focus to making pictures. In this lecture, he applies his iconic intellectual rigor and razor wit to the work of the photographer he might know best - himself.
