A compact survey of the work of Gordon Parks, the American photographer best known for documenting issues such as poverty, race relations and civil rights.
Gordon Parks (1912-2006) was a pioneering figure in 20th-century photography. As well as being the first African-American photographer to join the Farm Security Administration (FSA) and to become a staff photographer for Life magazine, he was also a writer, film director and composer. Although best known for documenting issues such as poverty, race relations and civil rights, he was remarkably versatile, turning his gift for visual narrative to subjects as diverse as news coverage, fashion, art and sport. He also captured prominent figures of his era, from Malcolm X to Marilyn Monroe, in a series of memorable portraits. Working in the US and around the world, he was driven by a commitment to social justice: 'The common search for a better life and a better world is deeper than colour or blood.'
Featuring 92 reproductions of his most trenchant photographs, this title in Thames & Hudson's renowned Photofile series is the perfect primer on this pioneering photographer.
