Required Reading is a collection of classic photographs, featuring works by artists including Diane Arbus, Louis Faurer, Lee Friedlander, Marcia Resnick and Weegee, that capture the wonder of reading. Within the written page are adventures, mysteries, love and loss, where people can become engrossed with experience created by the author’s captivating world. Just as the books of Finkelstein’s work reacted back to him, as readers, we have emotional responses to stories. In those moments of reaction, these artists capture the laughter or quiet reflection of a reader immersing themselves in a good book.
