"Images of Folk"
Celebrating the 50th year of Photography by
Robert Corwin
with additional images by Jerry Corwin*
from the Robert Corwin Collection
of the
American
Folklife
Center
at the
Library of Congress
"Robert Corwin brilliantly
captures Folk, Blues, Bluegrass, Country, Cajun,
Jazz, Rock, and other roots
musicians in classic and historic imagery...
Perhaps best known as the most
gifted documentarian of the spirit, personality
and ethos of the folk music scene
and the performers who give it its vitality...
he manages to portray essence in
gesture, in the “decisive moments”,
in the description of color and
space (or its deliberate absence)
so that the layers of history,
joy, love, passion and concern are revealed.
Please do spend some time to
familiarize yourself with his work.
It will be a rewarding
experience."

"Let us all thank
Robert Corwin for being such a good photographer,
and having such single
minded devotion to use his craft to record things
that probably do need to be
recorded"

"Quite possibly the most in-depth, photo-intensive look ever at old, pre-war (and in many cases antique) Martin guitars."
"...perfecting the art of 'guitar porn' ”
