SOCIAL GRACES - Larry Fink
In his seminal series *Social Graces*, Fink explored the contrasting worlds of Manhattan’s chic residents and rural Pennsylvanians in the late 1970s. “Some people mistake my work for satire. I don’t object to that, because satire is a powerful force, and if my work is perceived that way, it serves a purpose,” he explains. “But I don’t agree. These photos were taken with the intention of finding myself in the other, or finding the other in myself.”
