In 1975, Windogrand's high-flying reputation took a self-inflicted hit. At the height of the feminist revolution, he produced "Women Are Beautiful," a much-panned photo book that explored his fascination with the female form. "Most of Winogrand’s photos are taken of women in either vulgar or at least, questionable positions and seem to be taken unknown to them," says one critic. "This candid approach adds an element of disconnect between the viewer and the viewed, which creates awkwardness in the images themselves."
