Hardcover. Condition: new. Hardcover. In 1953, Gordon Parks returned to Chicago on assignment for Life magazine to photograph the Metropolitan Missionary Baptist Church for a series on American religious life. After the success of his recent work for Life, Parks approached the Near West Side church with a decisive eye toward composing compelling images that conveyed simultaneously the universal humanity and local specificity of the religious community. This would be the first assignment for which he was both writer as well as photographer. His photographs and essay were never published by Life, yet as this book demonstrates, Parks' visual and textual representation of Black religious life powerfully documents the dynamism of a community shaped by the Great Migration and Chicago's industrial landscape. Parks embarked on a significant chapter of his aesthetic and conceptual development through his engagement with the pastor, the Reverend Ernest F. Ledbetter, Sr., and the members of his church.This publication features more than 65 previously unpublished photographs and contact sheets, complemented by Parks' unseen manuscript and ephemeral material from the private collection of the Ledbetter family. A range of scholarly essays provides further insight and contextual analysis in art history, cultural geography, Black religious studies, and creative writing.Co-published with The Gordon Parks Foundation and Howard University, Washington DC Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.…

hardcover. Condition: Fine. Prima edizione (First Edition). Serie curata da Peter W. Kunhardt, Jr. A cura di Melanee C. Harvey. Testo e 155 fotografie b/n di Gordon Parks . Cm 29x25. pp. 224. . Ottimo (Fine). . Prima edizione (First Edition). . Nel 1953 Gordon Parks tornò a Chicago su incarico della rivista Life per fotografare la Metropolitan Missionary Baptist Church per una serie dedicata alla vita religiosa americana. Questo sarebbe stato il primo incarico per il quale avrebbe ricoperto sia il ruolo di scrittore che quello di fotografo. Le sue fotografie e il suo saggio non furono mai pubblicati da Life, ma, come dimostra questo libro, la rappresentazione visiva e testuale di Parks della vita religiosa dei neri documenta con forza il dinamismo di una comunità plasmata dalla Grande Migrazione e dal panorama industriale di Chicago. Parks intraprese un capitolo significativo del suo sviluppo estetico e concettuale attraverso il suo impegno con il pastore, il reverendo Ernest F. Ledbetter, Sr., e i membri della sua chiesa. Questa pubblicazione presenta più di 65 fotografie e provini a contatto inediti, integrati dal manoscritto inedito di Parks e da materiale effimero proveniente dalla collezione privata della famiglia Ledbetter. Una serie di saggi accademici fornisce ulteriori approfondimenti e analisi contestuali nella storia dell'arte, nella geografia culturale, negli studi religiosi afroamericani e nella scrittura creativa.
