The Guardian has news of what looks like a profound exhibition of Depression Era color photographs: Bound for Glory: America in Colour 1939-1943 at Photographers' Gallery, Great Newport St, London WC2. The slide show is beautiful and resonates more than the accustomed anguish - which is of course a political intention on the part of the photographers. Still refreshing to see.
We all are familiar with the starkness of the magnificent Walker Evans works from the same era - so this work is startling and immediatley fills a historic hole. We now have a forward for William Eggleston and William Christenberry (among others).
