Steve McCurry (1950–) - Fisherman, Sri Lanka, 1995

Steve McCurry Hand signed photograph by Steve McCurry Fishermen. Weligama. South coast, Sri Lanka. 1995. “These fishermen off the South coast of Sri Lanka used this bygone traditional method to catch fish in shallow waters. Very few fishermen are still keeping this tradition alive, as most of them have moved toward more modern methods. They demonstrate both independence and solidarity of community as they endeavor to provide sustenance for their families. Inherent in solidarity is the concept of responsibility to our fellow humans. This principle is especially relevant in these turbulent times.” Steve McCurry is one of the best photographers of the 20th as Henri Cartier-Bresson, Helmut Newton, Robert Mapplethorpe, Elliott Erwitt, Annie Leibovitz or Robert Capa, he was considered an icon of 20th century culture like Andy Warhol, Basquiat, Roy Lichtenstein, Jeff Koons or Banksy.
