Images to get lost in.
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 17 years ago
The process Gordon Parks used when he made these photographs was innovative and unique. He painted beautiful watercolors, placed leaves and other objects suspended over them and made awesome photographs of the resulting image. The images are remarkable. His poetry harkens back to the age of civil rights strife and are a disturbing glimpse into that dark era. Somehow the beautiful images and troubled poetry are at odds with one another - but maybe that was his point. He was a great artist.
