- Gordon Park’s courageous photography helped awaken America at the dawn of the civil rights era. He was a master of portraying people from every walk of life. But for years some of Parks’ most important early work seemed lost. Now, as Anthony Mason reports, a new generation of Americans can see it for themselves.
What a great photographer and an all round great man...
The daring, caring genius of Gordon Parks!
They weren't lost,Life Magazine was hiding them,how can they have over 100,000 pictures of Eugene Smith, and only have found 200 color slides of Gordon Parks.
Truth
Gordon is one of my top three documentary photographers. A true artist
This story brought tears to my eyes! All of the photos in the 1956 Life Magazine story One Man's Story were of my children's family. The couple on the first page were their Great Grand parents. I didn't know about the article until sometimes after 1972 when I asked my father-in-law. I made it my mission to find the magazine!!
I am proud of Mr. Parks' works too!!! Thank you for sharing this video.
i'll always remember you this way g p thank you for sharing your work
Very powerful work.
Great master
Class act
I know it's difficult to impossible to tell from a computer screen, however, there appears to be amazing clarity and detail in those slides, given that they were shot on 35mm film (a small format)....................in the 1950's.
Do you know what’s really vivid? Living life in the segregated south as a second class citizen.
*LEGEND*
This tells me to go out and buy a good camera and just start taking photos of everything.
You go out and take pictures all you want. Just like any other genre of art there must be an intrinsic gift there. Gordon Parks had that gift.
great photographer, i like it
