Sobre este artículo
Boston, MA: Bulfinch Press Book/Little, Brown and Company, 2001 Bulfinch Press Book/Little, Brown and Company, Boston, MA. 2001. Hardcover. Stated 3nd Printing. Signed bookplae affixed to the half title page. Book is tight, square, and unmarked. Book Condition: Fine. DJ: Fine; NOT Price Clipped ($65.00). Blue cloth boards and spine with bright silver lettering on the spine. Dark blue endpapers. 360 pp Folio. This book presents the diverse range of Parks' work -- which itself echoes the balance and tension inherent in modern society. Parks overcame a background of racism and poverty to become an influential photographer in the 1940s and 1950s, working for example as a photojournalist and fashion photographer for Life and Vogue magazines. American Gothic, Washington, D.C., 1942, remains one of Parks' most famous photographs, from a series of pictures detailing the life of Ella Watson, a government-employed African-American cleaning woman. Haunting images such as this stand in sharp contrast to Parks' fashion photographs. As Brookman notes, "Parks was able to fluidly move back and forth between various dichotomies -- black and white, rich and poor, politics and entertainment, journalism and art, truth and fiction -- to observe and report his feelings.". A clean very presentable copy.
