Lewis Hine Pictures America

Lewis Hine Pictures America

The Frick Art Museum, Through May 17

Captured more than 100 years ago, these photographs by Lewis Hine depict the lives of immigrants and laborers — including Pittsburgh steelworkers. Wisconsin-born photographer Lewis Hine trained his lens on (often harsh) scenes of reality at the dawn of the 20th century: crowds of immigrants arriving at Ellis Island, child laborers toiling under dangerous conditions, laborers sweating in punishing industrial environments. A touring exhibit of more than 70 rare photographs also includes some of Hine’s work in the Pittsburgh region, documenting the men behind Pittsburgh’s booming steel industry.
