"Images of Folk"
Celebrating Over 60 Years of Photography 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"
