The Beats (United States, 1958-1959)
In 1958, at the age of eighteen, Larry Fink left his childhood home and moved to New York. Fink was immediately drawn to New York’s counterculture, and he soon met a group of artists, writers, and musicians affiliated with a late stage of the Beat Movement. The group “desperately needed a photographer to be with them, to give them gravity, to live within them, record and encode their wary but benighted existence”, Fink says.
