Karsh, Winston Churchill

Karsh tells the story of how he got this famous portrait of Churchill. He says that he only had a few minutes to get the picture, and Churchill was not in a very good mood. He had a cigar in his mouth and looked as if he was daring the photographer to get a good picture of him. At that point, Karsh reached over and grabbed the cigar out of Churchill's mouth. He got the picture he wanted. Churchill looked like the bulldog that he was as Prime-minister during the war.

Now there's a contrasting image in more ways than one.

Yes, quite a contrast, I agree.

Burke-White worked for Life magazine.

It was taken at the time of the Louisville Flood in Kentucky in 1937. Of course that was during the depressions years, and there were a lot of food lines like this. The sign seems to indicate that things were pretty good for whites, but the reality is that whites also were suffering greatly during those years.

Margaret Burke-White also made this portrait of Gandhi in 1946, just a few hours before he was assassinated.

They have the arrows for it, if you want to try.

Walker Evans took these photographs in Hale County, Alabama, in the 1930s. They were part of the FSA project.

Walker Evans, Woman of Hale County, Alabama, 1936, 37

Allie Mae Burroughs, wife of Floyd Burroughs, a sharecropper in Akron, Alabama.

In 1936, Walker Evans, who worked for the Farm Security Administration, went to Alabama with writer, James Agee. They both lived with 3 different white families, and the result was a book published in 1941, Let Us Now Praise Famous Men. The photographs by Evans on this thread are from that book.

She looks like she could use some loving before breakfast as did those guys with arrows....

What are those lumps at the base of her neck? Do you know the history of the pictures...?
