Few people have lived as long, as varied and as complete a life as David Douglas Duncan. And certainly no photographers ever enjoyed a longer, more varied or more complete a career than the Missouri native who today is celebrated as one of the indispensable photojournalists of the 20th century.
Duncan started taking photos for newspapers in the 1930s; joined the U.S. Marines after Pearl Harbor; made some of the most indelible photos to come out of World War II and, 20 years later, covered Vietnam; documented civil strife and wars in Europe, Africa, Asia and the Middle East; captured ineffable beauty in environments as disparate as the west of Ireland and the deserts of America’s Southwest; befriended and photographed the likes of Picasso and Cartier-Bresson; and produced the single greatest portfolio of pictures to emerge from the Korean War.
