This book presented images that Parks took when he worked for Farm Security Administration and Office of War. They were great photographs that captured the everyday lives of people of all backgrounds during the early 1940s. I would have liked to see the images a little larger. The book is a small paperback (about 8 X 8 inches), but I do appreciate the affordable price that the size probably enabled. I also would have liked to see more of Parks works across the years in a book with this title. I understand that the Library of Congress published this book with the pictures from its collection, but it would have been nice if the book title reflected that the images were from this relatively short time in Park's long career.

Following on from the publication of the first six books featuring The Library of Congress' internationally renowned collection of Farm Security Administration (FSA) and Office of War Information (OWI) photographs, the series continues with images chosen from the works of Gordon Parks. Born in 1912 in Fort Scott, Kansas, the youngest of fifteen children in a poor tenant-farming family, Parks was working odd jobs in Minnesota when he saw the work of FSA photographers in a magazine andwas inspired to buy a camera. His early pictures landed him a position as Roy Stryker's apprentice in 1942. Among his extraordinary FSA photos is "American Gothic," which shows charwoman Ella Watson posed with mop and broom against an American flag. After the FSA, Parks worked atLife magazine. He also became a respected writer and film director. He died in 2006. Aucune description trouvée dans une bibliothèque |
