Description from the seller
Hardcover with dust jacket.
Signed.
Rough beauty is the result of three years of photographing in the very conservative, poor and entirely white Southeast Texas town of Vidor. Dave Anderson has made a loving portrait of one of the most peculiar communities in the United States.
Anderson photographs the residents and the surroundings without judgment, paying attention to both the poverty and the resilience and dignity of the people in a “poor Texas town.”
The term “rough beauty” refers to the raw, unvarnished reality of the town, historically known for its reputation as a ‘sundown town’. The book highlights the “rough beauty” of daily life in this community. The book is often seen as an honest and artistically faithful tribute to a place that is often overlooked or negatively judged by passersby on Interstate 10.
