Item Details

Description

Gordon Parks
(1912-2006)
American Gothic, Washington D.C. [Ella Watson], 1942

Gelatin silver print, printed later, signed in pencil on the verso.

image: 12 x 8 1/2in. (30.5 x 21.6cm.)
sheet: 14 x 11in. (35.5 x 28cm.)

Provenance:
With Claire Baker Gallery, Boca Raton, Florida

Literature:
Marien, Photography: A Cultural History, Pearson, 2015, fig. 9.1

Gordon Parks was hired by Roy Stryker to join his team of Farm Security Administration photographers in Washington, D.C and Parks focused his camera on subjects such as Ella Watson, a custodian working in the agency's office who is depicted in this image.
Perhaps Park's most iconic image, he captures her strength and dignity in the face of a life of poverty, hardship and inequality.
