Jackson Fine Art 3115 East Shadowlawn Avenue GA 30305 Atlanta États-Unis
Jackson Fine Art is pleased to kick off the 2015 season with a selection of provocative images that both interrogate and celebrate the south. Solo exhibitions by Gordon Parks and Andrew Moore, two artists with a talent for poignantly documenting place set an incisive gaze on the region, capturing public and private spheres with incredible intimacy. Also exhibited in the viewing room will be a series of Steve Schapiro’s rarely-seen photographs of the Selma-to-Montgomery march.Jackson Fine Art 3115 East Shadowlawn Avenue GA 30305 Atlanta États-Unis

Multitalented writer, musician, and director (Shaft), Gordon Parks was the first African- American to work as a staff photographer for Life magazine and the first black artist to produce and direct a major Hollywood film with 1969’s The Learning Tree. In 1956, he traveled to the segregated south on assignment for Life, creating a photo essay entitled “The Restraints: Open and Hidden,” which chronicled the daily lives of an extended family in Alabama. The portfolio’s presentation in full color at a time when most photo essays were still being published in black and white lends further strength to Parks’ depiction of the Jim Crow south.
Most of the photos for the Life series were presumed lost until they were rediscovered in 2011.
