Roy DeCarava : ウィキペディア英語版 | Roy DeCarava Roy DeCarava (December 9, 1919 – October 27, 2009) was an African American painter and photographer who resided in Harlem, New York City. DeCarava was known for his work chronicling the lives of African-Americans and jazz artists in Harlem. DeCarava came to be known as a founder of a photography style separate from the "social documentary" style of his predecessors who documented African-American life. His use of shadows in his photography underscored the way African-Americans were being questioned by society during the civil rights era. ==Career== DeCarava produced five major books, including ''The Sound I Saw'' and ''The Sweet Flypaper of Life'' as well as landmark museum catalogs and retrospective surveys from the Friends of Photography and the Museum of Modern Art in New York.〔Roy DeCarava and Langston Hughes ''The Sweet Flypaper of Life''. Washington DC: Howard University Press 1984 (Reprint)〕〔Museum of Modern Art] ''American Visions'', December 1999. Accessed August 23, 2009.〕 The subject of at least 15 single artist exhibitions, DeCarava was the first African American photographer to win a Guggenheim Fellowship and in 2006, he was awarded the National Medal of Arts from the National Endowment for the Arts, the highest award given to artists by the United States Government.〔National Endowment for the Arts. (2006 National Medal of Arts. Roy DeCarava. Photographer, New York. ) Accessed August 23, 2009.〕 DeCarava encouraged other photographers and believed in the accessibility of the medium. From 1955 – 1957, at his own expense, he established and supported A Photographer's Gallery in his apartment in a brownstone block at 48 West 85th Street,() New York, in which was shown work of the great names of American photography of the period. Roy DeCarava died on October 27, 2009.〔Multiple news stories. http://www.wqxr.org/#/articles/wqxr-news/2009/oct/30/photographer-roy-decarava-dies-89/〕
