"Back to Fort Scott" is a collection of works by Gordon Parks, an American photographer, film director and musician. Parks was the first successful African-American photographer and film director before and after the war. A jazz pianist when he was a teenager, he taught himself photography in his twenties, made a mark in journalism such as poverty, racism, and civil rights movements, and became Vogue's art director Alexander Liberman. He has been hired and is also active in fashion photography. Parks has been working as a staff photographer for more than 10 years at the photojournalism monument "LIFE" at that time, and this work was also planned to be published in LIFE, but due to circumstances at that time It is a group of works that have been in the warehouse and have remained unpublished for nearly 50 years. He visited Fort Scott, Kansas, where Parks was born and raised, and documented the "present" of his black companion at the time, 20 years later. Although Parks is a journalist, he is full of sensibility as an artist, and his humanity and poetic depiction are very wonderful, and you can fully enjoy the charm of this work as well.
