Pictures of Invisible Man

Still on the digging.

The Photographic Education of Ralph Ellison 1

We started looking for pictures taken by Gordon Parks in conjunction with Ralph Ellison for his unpublished Harlem chaos feature. We haven't found it yet, but we have found a.) "Harlem is Nowhere," Ellison's interesting later piece that burns the paradox of identity and postwar disintegrating historical consciousness into the soul of our literature, and b.) photos by Roy DeCarava. See above. Chaos. Identity disintegrating.

We'll keep working this. On and on and on and on.
