Through These Eyes:
The Photographs of P.H.Polk January 6 - April 5, 1998 |
|||||||||||
| In the 1930s, when P.H. Polk focused the lens of his 8x10 Century view camera to fashion an elegant portrait of beautiful Abigail Kyzer or to capture the stoicism of itinerant farmer George Moore, he could not have known he was defining a significant moment in photographic history. Nor could he have anticipated, during World War II, how his image of First Lady Eleanor Roosevelt--smiling confidently from the rear seat of a plane with Tuskegee Airman Charles Alfred Anderson at the controls--would serve as a catalyst for the racial integration of the armed forces. He was simply, in his own words, "making pictures." |
