After his refusal to answer absurd questions before the House UnAmerican Activities Committee ruined his optometry business, Rogovin began a new life with a camera. In the early 1970s, documenting lives on the Lower West Side of Buffalo, New York, he gave dignity to resident African Americans, Puerto Ricans, Native Americans, and poor whites. He has returned to photograph many of the same people in each of the following three decades. The remarkable results are in this book.

"Buffalo, New York, is home to Milton Rogovin, a photographer whose work has created a portrait of life on the city's West Side over three decades of transition. His portraits depict an often overlooked aspect of the country's social history -- the lived experience of working-class communities whose cultural expression and everyday struggles rarely make the day's headlines or wind their way into the chapters of history . Rogovin's work is notable for its lack of compositional pretension -- he encouraged subjects to dress and act as they pleased -- and for its gritty realism, reminiscent of Walker Evans and Dorothea Lange. Although Rogovin never achieved the recognition these artists did, he shares their acute social conscience, and like theirs, his work represents a pioneering exploration of lives that rarely receive their due from art or history . Milton Rogovin: The Forgotten Ones is a celebration of Rogovin's life's work, published in conjunction with an exhibit at the New-York Historical Society. The book includes a selection of single portraits in Buffalo from the 1950s through the 1980s, and eighteen remarkable 'Quartets,' sequences of pictures and interview text, tracing the same subjects through four decades. A foreword by Dave Isay and afterword by photographer Harvey Wang pay tribute to Milton Rogovin's remarkable courage, integrity, and persistence." EB; 8vo 8" - 9" tall. Seller Inventory # 65408
