#Art #History: yesterday marked 17 years since the death of polymath extraordinaire, gordon parks. if your only familiarity with him is through the #film, 'shaft', you owe it to yourself to dig a bit deeper.
gordon first made his mark as a photojournalist (documenting issues of civil rights, poverty & the quotidian lives of black americans) & a fashion photographer.
i've always loved GP's photo of the chicago couple that i used as a ref for this drawing. #mastoArt #gordonParks #portraiture

Gordon Parks, GOAT.
Filmmaker, author, composer — but it's his photography that has taught me so much and made my life so much richer.
This is "Self-Portrait", taken in 1948.

Gordon Parks, “Showgirl”, New York, 1958 from his series of photos looking behind the scenes at showgirls on and offstage. The images have been compared with similar studies by Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec, of theatrical life in Paris in the late 19th century

...in adapting his own semi autobiographical novel The Learning Tree (1963), became the first black artist to produce and direct a major Hollywood film. Via his second film, Shaft (1971) and its 1972 sequel, he was instrumental in launching the blaxploitation cycle.
