An award-winning photojournalist and social documentarian, Arthur
Grace (born 1947) has traveled globally and to every region of
America on assignment for major news organizations as well as for
his own personal projects since the early 1970s. In "America 101,"
Grace draws 101 pictures from his rich personal archive to assemble
a visual crash course on what defines and represents us as
Americans. Organized here into thematic chapters, Grace's book
plumbs America's cultural DNA, fusing the style and the physical
proximity of a photojournalist with the conceptual distance and
healthy skepticism of an artist. As High Museum of Art Curator of
Photography, Brett Abbott, states in his introductory essay, "In
Grace's America, the ordinary meets the absurd, veneration and
irreverence comingle in unexpected and delightfully humorous ways,
a lighthearted joie de vivre soothes a violent vein, and the
sanctity of the individual competes with our continual drive toward
collective direction."
