American
David Douglas Duncan, one of the twentieth cen-
tury’s most accomplished photojournalists, pho-
tographed every major war from World War II to
Vietnam. Duncan’s career is characterized by his
strong-willed commitment to photojournalistic
clarity, his insightful portraits of war, and his
limitless curiosity, which led to images and pub-
lications on diverse subjects ranging from the
legendary artist Picasso to sunflowers to the treas-
ures of the Kremlin.
Born in 1916 in Kansas City, Missouri, David
Douglas Duncan began his photographic career at
age 18. Duncan had been studying archeology at
the University of Arizona in 1934; he had recently
received a camera as a birthday present. When
Tucson’s largest hotel caught fire, he made some
snapshots. It turned out, however, that the man he
photographed running out of the hotel with a suit-
case in hand was gangster John Dillinger, Ameri-
ca’s Public Enemy No. 1. This was the beginning of
a lifetime of capturing significant moments on film.
Duncan soon transferred to the University ofDRTIKOL, FRANTISˇEK
