"Images of Folk"
48 years of Photographs by
Robert Corwin
with additional images by Jerry Corwin*
from
the Robert Corwin
Collection
of the
American
Folklife
Center
at the
Library
of Congress
"Robert
Corwin brilliantly
captures
Folk, Blues, Bluegrass, Country, Cajun,
Jazz,
Rock, and other roots
musicians
in classic and historic imagery...
Perhaps
best known as the most
gifted documentarian of the spirit, personality
and
ethos of the folk music scene
and the performers who give it its vitality...
he
manages to portray essence in
gesture, in the “decisive moments”,
in the
description of color and
space (or its deliberate absence)
so that
the layers of history,
joy, love, passion and concern are revealed.
Please
do spend some time to
familiarize
yourself with his work.
It will
be a rewarding
experience."

"Let
us all thank Robert
Corwin
for being such a good photographer,
and
having such single minded
devotion
to use his craft to record things
that
probably do need to be
recorded"
Pete Seeger

"Quite possibly the most in-depth, photo-intensive look ever at old, pre-war (and in many cases antique) Martin guitars."
"...perfecting the art of 'guitar porn' ”
