Description

This volume examines the genesis and cultural impact of Gordon Parks’ iconic 1942 photograph, American Gothic. Through a curated selection of archival images and historical documentation, the book explores the complex relationship between Parks and his subject, Ella Watson, while situating the portrait within the broader context of the Farm Security Administration’s documentary project in Washington, D.C.
