The Howard Greenberg Gallery in New York presents the showcase ‘Gordon Parks: A Choice of Weapons’ – comprising a selection of images that illustrates the photographer and film-maker’s “cinematic approach to photography”. The showcase is timed to coincide with the 50th anniversary of Parks’ second directorial release – the Blaxploitation classic, ‘Shaft’ (1971).
Gordon Parks (1912–2006) – who famously referred to his camera as his ‘weapon of choice’ – was renowned for his documentation of American culture and everyday life, with a core focus on social injustice. In 1948, he began his two-decade long career as a photographer for Life magazine, which yielded some of his most groundbreaking work.
