È ispirato a una celebre canzone di Paul Simon, Diamonds on the Soles of Her Shoes, il titolo della mostra recentemente inaugurata online dalla Pace Gallery: un’esposizione che, attraverso gli scatti dei fotografi più influenti del Novecento, restituiscono uno spaccato poetico dell’America del Secondo Dopoguerra, indagandone le dinamiche storiche, politiche e culturali. Richard Avedon, Harry Callahan, William Christenberry, William Eggleston, Robert Frank, Jim Goldberg, Paul Graham, Peter Hujar, Richard Learoyd, Richard Misrach, Trevor Paglen, Gordon Parks, Irving Penn, JoAnn Verburge Carmen Winantsono gli artisti protagonisti della mostra visibile sulla Viewing Online Room della Pace Gallery fino al 28 aprile, con scatti che riflettono su questioni di classe, razza e potere, ritraggono leader politici, attivisti, artisti e gente comune, fino a quelle più contemporanee, che restituiscono un’immagine dell’Occidente contraddittoria ma anche dalla drammatica bellezza.
