Cruise of the Pintail: A Photographic Journey
to
The Cabildo 701 Chartres Street, New Orleans, Louisiana 70116
In an era marked by iconic Depression-era photography documenting socioeconomic disparities across the country, Theodore Fonville Winans was puttering through Louisiana's swamps and bayous on a leaky used boat he called the Pintail—capturing a disappearing way of life.
The photographer would return to Louisiana again and again, focusing his lens on various iconic and remote areas of the state including the fishing communities of Grand Isle, Crowley's rice festival, field trials in East Feliciana Parish, the interior of an Avery Island salt mine, and Huey P. Long's governorship.
Cruise of the Pintail: A Photographic Journey celebrates Winans' legacy through a selection of his photos taken during the 1930s and 1940s, displayed at the Cabildo in New Orleans. louisianastatemuseum.org.
