Gordon Parks – Arias in Silence –

“… encompasses the breadth of Gordon Parks’s compelling new photographic work. Now eighty, he has developed a new vision – fragmentary found objects appear against abstract watercolor backgrounds, evoking the buttes of the American southwest, the Great Prairies, the rolling surf of the Atlantic, or the landscapes of Chinese scroll paintings.
More than two dozen of his original, previously unpublished poems accompany the photographs and express the wisdom, love, yearning, and drive that are the core of Parks’s artistic life.”
