Description
The photographer Gordon Parks worked so prolifically that it is hard to imagine one artist producing so many high-quality works. “When we talk about Gordon Parks, it’s as if we’re talking about half a dozen different people,” Laurene Powell Jobs, the billionaire who runs the influential philanthropic organization the Emerson Collective, told the 500 attendees at a gala hosted in New York by the Gordon Parks Foundation last week. Later on, she added, “He showed us the chasm between the principles that we were told our country is based on and the reality that we have failed to live up to to this day. His pictures demand that we look twice.”
