| | | Thomas Hoepker: The Way It WasRoad Trips USAEdited with text by Freddy Langer.
 Two road trips—one in black and white, the other color—across two Americas, nearly 60 years apartMagnum photographer (and former Magnum president) Thomas Hoepker (born 1936) was 27 years old when he set out on his ambitious journey across the United States—one that took him from coast to coast and back again over the course of three months and resulted in thousands of photos. The year was 1963 and Hoepker had been commissioned by the German magazine Kristall to “discover” America through his camera. The photo reportages he made, published in five issues of the magazine across dozens of pages, revealed Hoepker’s complex, skeptical and sometimes melancholy view of the American everyday, in big cities, small towns and all in between. His was an unromanticized vision in which the decadent existed alongside the desolate, the glitter with the grit.
As much as Hoepker recognized that the problematic American dream could go unfulfilled, he was fascinated with the country (settling in New York in 1976), and in 2020—at the age of 84 and after a successful career as a photojournalist and president of Magnum Photos—he once again set out on a road trip throughout the US. The Way It Was: Road Trips USA juxtaposes Hoepker’s color photographs from this trip with his original black-and-white images, taking us on a journey both through his changing sense of America and through time.
PRAISE AND REVIEWSBlind Sara Rosen There is a continuity between present and past. Perhaps that’s Hoepker himself: the one constant across time and space, he captures a quiet lyricism that is somber and poignant, but not without hope. New York Times: Book Review Juxtaposing images from Hoepker’s two cross-country road trips, this collection starkly renders the passage of time. Independent Photographer Elizabeth Kahn Hoepker photographs with an innate perceptivity; uncompromising honesty, and at times, considerable dynamism, capturing with remarkable clarity, the intricacies of a vast and complicated nation. |
