Roy Decarava, a Retrospective

by Roy DeCarava and Peter Galassi

Book Overview

First applauded for The Sweet Flypaper of Life, a book on Harlem life published in 1955, DeCarava is a master of poetic contemplation and sensual tonalities in black and white. Above all he is a photographer of people, and his images combime social conviction with humanity and personal feeling.
