Arias in Silence encompasses the breadth of Gordon Park's compelling new photographic work. Now eighty, he has developed a new vision--fragmentary found objects appear against abstract watercolor backgrounds, evoking buttes 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 More than two dozen of his original, previously unpublished poems accompany the photographs ans express the wisdom, love, yearning, and drive that are the core of Park's artistic life.

This review is from: Arias in Silence (Hardcover)
The process Gordon Parks used when he made these photographs was innovative and unique. He painted beautiful watercolors, placed leaves and other objects suspended over them and made awesome photographs of the resulting image. The images are remarkable. His poetry harkens back to the age of civil rights strife and are a disturbing glimpse into that dark era. Somehow the beautiful images and troubled poetry are at odds with one another - but maybe that was his point. He was a great artist.
