Over four decades, photographer Peter Turnley has captured the soul of everywhere from his Midwest hometown to refugee camps across three continents and, most recently, the fresh hope in an opening Cuba. A retrospective of his human, textured work opens this week at Havana’s Museo Nacional de Bellas Artes, Edificio de Arte Cuban. Shown here are images from the exhibition.
Here, his image from Fort Wayne, Indiana, in 1971.
