Anotace knihy

By 1944, Gordon Parks had established himself as a photographer who freely navigated the fields of press and commercial photography, with an unparalleled humanist perspective. That year, Roy Stryker-the former Farm Security Administration official who was now heading the public relations department for The Standard Oil Company (New Jersey)-commissioned Parks to travel to Pittsburgh Pennsylvania to document the Penola, Inc. Grease Plant.Employing his signature style, Parks spent two years chronicling the plant's industry-critical to Pittsburgh's history and character-by photographing its workers and the range of their activities. The resulting photographs, dramatically staged and lit and striking in their composition, showed the range of activities by black and white workers, divided by roles, race and class. The images were used as marketing material and made available to local and national newspapers, as well corporate magazines and newsletters. However, they served as much more than documentation of industry-enduring as an exploration of labor and its social and economic ramifications in World War II America by one of the most influential artists of the twentieth century.Featuring more than 100 photographs, many previously unpublished, this is the first book to focus exclusively on Parks' photographs for The Standard Oil Company, illuminating an important chapter in his career prior to his landmark career as a staff photographer for Life magazine.
