(Photo by Clyde Hare, Post-Gazette) <\/div> <\/div> <\/div> <\/div> <\/div>\n

This iconic image by Clyde \u201cRed\u201d Hare, a legendary photographer who documented \u00a0Pittsburgh for more than 50 years, captures an industrial scene from 1957: the massive bulk of the blast furnaces, the smoggy sky and\u00a0cars motoring along the Parkway East.<\/p>\n

Mr. Hare came to Pittsburgh in 1950 to work for the Pittsburgh Photographic Library, and stayed to create indelible images of the city following change over more than half a century.<\/p>\n

His eye for nuance and his artistic sense of perspective earned Mr. Hare international recognition and the respect of his colleagues.\u00a0Pittsburgh Post-Gazette staff photographer Bob Donaldson said Mr. Hare \u201cwas on the ground floor of grand central photojournalism.\u201d Hare\u2019s work appeared in National Geographic, Life Magazine and other prestigious publications.<\/p>\n

Of his own work, Mr. Hare said, \u201cI made up my mind to take one great photograph each day, one that would live, would be simple, would have something to say.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
