Though DeCarava often refrained from public discussion of his work, this catalogue provides important background into determining factors of his aesthetic sensibility - his traditional training in painting and printmaking as well as his philosophical undertakings. It brings the viewer to a consideration of contradictory precepts in DeCarava's work that seeks resolution through tonal and structural elements within the image. "Light Break" presents a wide-ranging selection of DeCarava's photographs accompanied by a preface by Zoé Whitley, an American curator based in London, and features an introduction and essay by curator and art historian Sherry Turner DeCarava.

Acknowledged as the most influential black writer of his generation, and as one of the greatest American poets of all time here composed a fictional story to accompany DeCaravaâs images, creating a lyrical tale about imaginary characters to go with photographs of real people" (Roth, 138).

It is also a book that had more impact in its cheaper paperback edition, since, radically, Hughesâ text begins on the cover" (Parr & Badger II:242). "The book won two awards, received critical acclaim in The New York Times Book Review sold out its first edition, and was reprinted many times. It is one of the most successful collaborations between a great writer and a great photographer ever published" (Roth, 138).

First edition of this expressive celebration of jazz with essays by his wife Sherry Turner DeCarava and American literary historian Radiclani Clytus. Folio, original cloth, illustrated with impressive full-size black and white photographs throughout. Fine in a near fine dust jacket. One of the 20th century's most important photographers, Roy DeCarava practiced photography for almost six decades, spearheading the genre of black and white fine art photography with his affection for the individual creative process.
