Item Details
Description
GORDON PARKS (1912-2006)
Colored Entrance, Department Store, 1956
Archival Pigment Print, printed after
12" x 12"
This photograph was part of Gordon Parks 1956 photo essay for Life Magazine documenting the life of the Thornton family under segregation in Alabama. The essay served as crucial documentation of the Jim Crow South and acted as a national platform for challenging racial inequality. However, his images look quite different from many other iconic civil rights photographs. In an era when the primary medium for documentary photography was black-and-white film, Parks instead chose to present these quiet images of domestic life in full color.
