About the photographer:
William Eugene Smith was born in 1918 in Wichita, Kansas. He took his first photos at the age of 15 for two local newspapers. In 1936, Smith enrolled at the University of Notre Dame in Wichita, where he was awarded a photography scholarship. A year later, he left university and moved to New York. After studying with Helene Sanders at the New York Institute of Photography, he began working for Newsweek in 1937. Fired for refusing to use medium format cameras, he joined the Black Star agency as a freelancer.
Smith worked as a war correspondent for the magazine Flying (1943-1944), then a year later for Life. He followed the American offensive against Japan, island by island, and sustained serious injuries while simulating combat conditions for Parade, which required surgical intervention over the next two years.
Once restored, Smith worked again for Life between 1947 and 1955, before resigning to join Magnum Photos as an associate. In 1957, he became a full member of Magnum. Smith was passionately dedicated to his mission as a photographer. Because of this dedication, he was often considered by editors as 'troublesome'.
A year after settling in Tucson to teach at the University of Arizona, Smith died of a stroke. His archives are preserved at the Tucson Center for Creative Photography in Arizona. Today, Smith's legacy endures thanks to the W. Eugene Smith Fund, established in 1980 to promote 'humanist photography,' which awards photographers for their outstanding achievements in this field.
