| | | Gordon Parks: The New TideEarly Work 1940–1950Edited by Peter W. Kunhardt, Jr., Philip Brookman. Foreword by Peter W. Kunhardt, Jr., Earl A. Powell III. Introduction by Sarah Lewis. Text by Maurice Berger, Philip Brookman, Richard J. Powell, Deborah Willis.
 The emergence of a social conscience in rarely seen images from Parks' formative yearsFocusing on new research and access to forgotten pictures, The New Tide, Early Work 1940–1950 documents the importance of these years in shaping Gordon Parks' passionate vision. The book brings together photographs and publications made during the first and most formative decade of his 65-year career. During the 1940s Parks' photographic ambitions grew to express a profound understanding of his cultural and political experiences. From the first photographs he published in Saint Paul, Minnesota, and his relationship to the Chicago Black Renaissance, to his mentorship with Roy Stryker and his breakthrough work for America's influential picture magazines—including Ebony and Life—this book traces Parks' rapid evolution from an accomplished, self-taught practitioner to a groundbreaking artistic and journalistic voice.
Gordon Parks was born into poverty and segregation in Fort Scott, Kansas, in 1912. An itinerant laborer, he worked as a brothel pianist and railcar porter, among other jobs, before buying a camera at a pawnshop, training himself and becoming a photographer. During his storied tenures photographing for the Farm Security Administration (1941–45) and Life magazine (1948–72), Parks evolved into a modern-day Renaissance man, finding success as a film director, writer and composer. The first African American director to helm a major motion picture, he helped launch the blaxploitation genre with his film Shaft (1971). He wrote numerous memoirs, novels and books of poetry, and received many awards, including the National Medal of Arts, and more than 50 honorary degrees. Parks died in 2006. "Boy in Doorway" (1941/42) is reproduced from 'Gordon Parks: The New Tide.'PRAISE AND REVIEWSNew York Times Maurice Berger Gordon Parks — perhaps more than any artist — saw poverty as “the most savage of all human afflictions” and realized the power of empathy to help us understand it. New York Times James Estrin A new book examines Gordon Parks’s transformation over the formative decade before his time as the first black staff photographer at Life magazine. AnOther Magazine Miss Rosen [Gordon Parks: The New Tide] looks back at the groundbreaking first decade of his career, during which he rose to become the first African-American photographer at LIFE magazine. PDN A new exhibition and a companion catalogue, published by Steidl, looks at ten formative years in Parks’s career that laid the foundation for his creative output in social documentary, fashion photography, fiction and memoir. Globe and Mail Charts the evolution and social conscience formed in the breakthrough early years of Gordon Parks’s seven-decade career. New York Times Magazine Teju Cole The catalog is as accomplished for the photographs it reprints as it is for its many fine essays on Parks, including those by Maurice Berger, Sarah Lewis, Deborah Willis and Philip Brookman, which contextualize Parks with the writers who mattered to him, Langston Hughes and Richard Wright among them. Guardian The early work of ground-breaking photojournalist Gordon Parks. Boston Globe Mark Feeney In both subject and style, the work is vigorously exploratory and various. |

| | FROM THE ARTBOOK BLOG CORY REYNOLDS | DATE 11/11/2018 Best known for his searing LIFE magazine documentary photo essays on poverty and American civil rights, photographer, filmmaker, writer and musician Gordon Parks was also one of the twentieth century's great fashion photographers. Reproduced from The New Tide—published to accompany the National Gallery of Art's current exhibition—this photograph of Parks' wife, Sally Alvis Parks, a model and hat designer, was shot for the cover of the December 1947 Christmas issue of Chicago-based Circuit's Smart Woman magazine. Geared toward an African-American audience, Smart Woman was "designed to attract the new, postwar woman. [It was] intelligent, sharp, consumer-conscious, and geared to self-representation through fashion."

Other portraits include Langston Hughes, Ralph Ellison, Marian Anderson and Eleanor Roosevelt, in addition to a variety of American workers, society figures, fashion models and anonymous poor. This remarkable volume includes a wealth of archival materials, including letters, fellowship applications, magazine work, historical photographs from Parks’s early life and scholarly essays by such esteemed contributors as Philip Brookman, Sarah Lewis, Richard J. Powell, Deborah Willis and Maurice Berger, who quotes Parks: “I chose my camera as a weapon against all the things I dislike about America—poverty, racism, discrimination.” continue to blog | |  | Steidl/The Gordon Parks Foundation/Bowdoin College Museum of ArtISBN: 9783969993620
