:: CATEGORIES :: > BOOKSHOP > Award-winning books Rough Beauty by Dave Anderson Introduction and interview by Anne Wilkes Tucker This book’s title, Rough Beauty, conveys Anderson’s conviction that the hard scrabble lives of most of the residents of Vidor, Texas, are worthy of our attention, but it also conveys that he does not seek to beautify their lives by removing the crude edges. -Anne Wilkes Tucker A powerful photographic documentation of the people and places in a poor and isolated town in rural southeast Texas, known for its long history as a KKK town. Begun in fall 2003 and completed in early 2006 (after fifty trips), Rough Beauty explores the character and burden of a close-knit community branded by its past. Vidor is reviled for its history of Klan activities, but behind this stereotype is a town where people struggle to get by against a background of crushing poverty almost reminiscent of the Depression. Winner of the Santa Fe Center for Photography 2005 Project Competition. Exhibition tour begins fall 2006 and continues throughout 2007. Anne Wilkes Tucker is Founder and Curator of Photography at the Museum of Fine Arts, Houston. She has curated over two dozen major shows including retrospectives for Robert Frank, Brassaï and Richard Misrach. She has published widely and lectures worldwide.
