ДЕНЬ В ИСТОРИИ ФОТОГРАФИИ
 | | Photographer Joe Clark is a little known photographer from Cumberland Gap, Tennessee whose first photograph was purchased by Life Magazine. He spent his life making pictures in Appalachia and Detroit and elsewhere, producing beautiful images. [19.1.1928] | | And you know his work, but don’t realize it. In the 1950s, when Art Hancock wanted to establish the first advertising campaign for Jack Daniels, he hired Clark to make photographs in Lynchburg, Tennessee. For the next thirty years, Clark made pictures that helped define Jack Daniels.
And now his entire collection has been donated by Art Hancock to the libraries of the Mayborn School of Journalism and the University of North Texas.
Here’s a film, well worth watching, co-produced and written by my sister, Lee Hancock, who is Art’s daughter-in-law. The images are amazing.
Clark’s work is going to be digitized and made available online.
