Softcover bound in pictorial white wraps. 30 pages with a cover illustration and 9 illustrations of Rosalie Gwathmey's evocative photographs of the deep South and Southern black life. Fine. <p>First edition. Published in conjunction with an exhibition held from August 11 to September 11 1994.<p>Inscribed and signed in full by the photographer Rosalie Gwathmey on the half title. Signed copies of this important exhibition catalog are rare.<p>A student of Paul Strand at the Photo League of New York Rosalie Gwathmey 1908-2001 was married to the social realist painter Robert Gwathmey. Her warm simple yet gritty photographs evocatively captured the African-American experience in South Carolina and in her hometown of Charlotte North Carolina. Her work was included in a New Photographers group show at New York's Museum of Modern Art in 1946 and one of her images was included by Steichen in the 1955 Family of Man Exhibition. Despite these successes she turned away from photography in 1955 donating all of her prints to the New York Public Library and destroying her negatives. She rarely looked back and went on to establish herself as a textile designer. Largely forgotten in the intervening decades this solo exhibition revived interest in her work.
