Wonderful artist; wonderful biography
|
| "Half Past Autumn" serves as a video biography of a wonderful artist, Gordon Parks. Parks was a genius of all trades -- photography, music composition; writing, filmmaking. "Half Past Autumn" gives an overview of his life, from his birth ("At his birth he died -- and was named Gordon after the young interning doctor who said -- let me try something -- and put him in freezing water and rubbed his body with a cloth -- bringing him back to life) Maybe his extraordinary birth had something to do with his extraordinary life. Gordon Parks did everything on his own terms; beginning with his days at Life Magazine as the first black photojournalist in the 1950s. Parks captured the humanity in all people in his photographs. This film is excellent overview of Gordon Parks' life. |
