Soul Man
Barkley L. Hendricks1978
Nasher Museum of Art at Duke University
Durham, United States
Hendricks worked consistently as a photographer beginning in the mid 1960s, and while at Yale University from 1970-1972 he studied with the acclaimed photographer Walker Evans.
Taken in Hendricks’ hometown of Philadelphia, “Soul Man” embodies many of the central traits of Hendricks' work. Formal balance, unique cropping and attention to light and reflection are characteristics found in both his paintings and photographs. It also demonstrates his broader interest in American realism, portraiture, landscape, social engagement and humor.
