A Long Arc: Photography and the American South - Since 1845
Expected to ship within 10 - 17 working days

Collects over 150 years of key moments in the visual history of the
Southern United States, with over two hundred photographs taken
from 1850 to present The South is perhaps the most mythologized
region in the United States and also one of the most depicted.
Since the dawn of photography in the nineteenth century,
photographers have articulated the distinct and evolving character
of the South’s people, landscape, and culture and reckoned with
its fraught history. Indeed, many of the urgent questions we face
today about what defines the American experience—from racism,
poverty, and the legacy of slavery to environmental disaster,
immigration, and the changes wrought by a modern, global
economy—appear as key themes in the photography of the South. The
visual history of the South is inextricably intertwined with the
history of photography and also the history of America, and is
therefore an apt lens through which to examine American identity. A
Long Arc: Photography and the American South accompanies a major
exhibition at the High Museum of Art in Atlanta, with more than one
hundred photographers represented, including Walker Evans, Robert
Frank, Gordon Parks, William Eggleston, Sally Mann, Carrie Mae
Weems, Dawoud Bey, Alec Soth, and An-My Lê. Insightful texts by
Imani Perry, Sarah Kennel, Makeda Best, and Rahim Fortune, among
others, illuminate this broad survey of photographs of the Southern
United States as an essential American story. Copublished by
Aperture and High Museum of Art, Atlanta
