W. Eugene Smith
The Walk to Paradise Garden
This is a photo of his own children he took after a long illness and 30+ operations - it came out in public after WWII and became an icon for the new peace, the hope of starting again.

Though criticized heavily, I understood the allegory here in his work. It disturbed many, but I fell in love with it. He borrows from ancient conventions of allegorical art.
Thoughts?
