Join writer Geoff Dyer at The Photographers’ Gallery as he selects a single photograph and tells the story behind it.
For this night’s event Geoff Dyer has chosen a photograph by Roy DeCarava (December 9, 1919 – October 27, 2009) an African-American painter and photographer who resided in Harlem, New York City.
DeCarava was initially known for his early work chronicling the lives of African Americans and jazz artists in Harlem. Later on in his career DeCarava became known as a founder of fine art photography separate from the social documentary style of his predecessors who documented African-American life.
