Soft cover. Condition: Very Good +. No Jacket. 1st Edition. Bulfinch Press Book/Little, Brown and Company, Boston, MA. 1998. Softcover/Trade Wraps. Stated 2nd Printing. Book is tight, square, and unmarked but for F/O address label on the title page. Book Condition: Very Good +; light edge and tip bumps. No DJ. Pictorial card stock wraps. Wraps are not bent or folded; spine is not creased or split; text is secure in binding. 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.

Photograph
Buch. Condition: Neu. Neuware -American Gothic, Gordon Parks' 1942 portrait of government worker Ella Watson, is among the most celebrated photographs of the twentieth century. Created as part of an extensive collaboration between the photographer and his subject, it is at once a record of one woman's position within the racial, professional and economic hierarchies that stratified the nation's capital and Parks' visual reckoning with the realities of living in racially segregated Washington, D.C. Through his work with Watson-a custodian in the government building where he worked-Parks composed an intimate portrait of Black life by focusing on everyday activities, from work routines to family meals and church services. The resulting photographs trace a remarkably intimate portrait of Watson as a multidimensional figure, cherished by her community and vitally important within the civic sphere. American Gothic. Gordon Parks and Ella Watson provides a comprehensive overview of this pivotal series of photographs, including more than 50 images, some never published before, and additional archival material.Co-published with The Gordon Parks Foundation and the Minneapolis Institute of Art.
