First edition of this stunning review of Roy DeCarava’s art with an essay by his wife, Sherry Turner DeCarava. Square quarto, original cloth, frontispiece of ‘Interior, music stand’ 1987, illustrated with 194 reproductions of DeCarava’s work in tritone and 43 in duotone. Fine in a near fine dust jacket.
One of the 20th century's most important photographers, Roy DeCarava practiced photography for almost six decades, spearheading the genre of black and white fine art photography with his affection for the individual creative process. DeCarava's work draws focus to the real lives of black Americans without a serious documentary-style politicization of the experience. While these portraits oftentime model the mundane aspects of daily life, they capture exactly what it means to be human in modern society.
