       Desc : Gordon Parks' ethically complex depictions of crime in
       New York, Chicago, San Francisco and Los Angeles, with
       previously unseen photographsWhen Life magazine asked Gordon
       Parks to illustrate a recurring series of articles on crime in
       the United States in 1957, he had already been a staff
       photographer for nearly a decade, the first African American to
       hold this position. Parks embarked on a six-week journey that
       took him and a reporter to the streets of New York, Chicago, San
       Francisco and Los Angeles. Unlike much of his prior work, the
       images made were in color. The resulting eight-page photo-essay
       The Atmosphere of Crime was noteworthy not only for its bold
       aesthetic sophistication, but also for how it challenged
       stereotypes about criminality then pervasive in the mainstream
       media. They provided a richly hued, cinematic portrayal of a
       largely hidden world: that of violence, police work and
       incarceration, seen with empathy and candor.Parks rejected
       clich?s of delinquency, drug use and corruption, opting for a
       more nuanced view that reflected the social and economic factors
       tied to criminal behavior and afforded a rare window into the
       working lives of those charged with preventing and prosecuting
       it. Transcending the romanticism of the gangster film, the
       suspense of the crime caper and the racially biased depictions
       of criminality then prevalent in American popular culture, Parks
       coaxed his camera to record reality so vividly and compellingly
       that it would allow Life's readers to see the complexity of
       these chronically oversimplified situations. The Atmosphere of
       Crime, 1957 includes an expansive selection of
       never-before-published photographs from Parks' original
       reportage.Gordon Parks was born into poverty and segregation in
       Fort Scott, Kansas, in 1912. An itinerant laborer, he worked as
       a brothel pianist and railcar porter, among other jobs, before
       buying a camera at a pawnshop, training himself and becoming a
       photographer. He evolved into a modern-day Renaissance man,
       finding success as a film director, writer and composer. The
       first African-American director to helm a major motion picture,
       he helped launch the blaxploitation genre with his film Shaft
       (1971). Parks died in 2006.
