SOCIAL GRACES - Larry Fink
In his landmark series Social Graces, Fink explored the contrasting worlds of upscale Manhattanites and rural Pennsylvania townsfolk in the late 1970s. "Some people confuse my work with satire. I don't object, because satire is a powerful force, and if my work is perceived that way, it serves a function," he explains. "But I don't agree. These photos were taken in the spirit of finding myself in the other, or finding the other in myself."
