If you've just read the HN discussion here, please click through to the article. The photographs are spectacularly good.
This one in particular made me stop reading: https://i.guim.co.uk/img/media/802853306d66c60d2e1dedb8ec2e25459f7aa828/0_0_6000_7552/master/6000.jpg?width=1000&quality=85&dpr=1&s=none https://i.guim.co.uk/img/media/802853306d66c60d2e1dedb8ec2e2... (large size than what is in the the article).
- elevaet 4y agoThe photos sit so well, just so. Great aesthetic and approach >Eschewing the socially concerned ethos that often underpinned the visual documentation of race and poverty in America at that time, Lee’s calm, measured portraits speak of a deeper engagement with his subjects You can really see that in the examples from the article. Such a neutral and consensual quality. I hope he entrusts his massive body of work to a good collection. Artistic merit aside, they would be extremely valuable historical records.
