California photographs
Beskrivning:For almost sixty years Pirkle Jones had chronicled the people, politics, and landscape of Norhtern California - a "promised land" which has long held sway in the American cultural imagination. Within the confines of that locale, he has unearthed a universe of beauty and meaning, photographing everything from flea-market finds to some of the most important American social movements of the second half of the twentieth century. Among the photo essays included in this book are a compassionate and controversial piece on the Black Panther Party in the San Francisco Bay Area, Jones´ portraits of the Sausalito houseboat community known as Gate 5, and a notable 1956 photo-essay done in collaboration with Dorothea Lange photographing the dislocation of the Berryessa Valley before it was flooded upon completition of the Monticello Dam. B/w photos. 30,5 x 25,5 cm.
