“In times of great complexity and peril, artists are temperature-sensitive to the world around them. [DeCarava’s] work is testimony to his artistic vision and understanding of complex political, economic, and aesthetic realities.” — Sherry Turner DeCarava https://t.co/bFVGu1NZOC

“It’s interesting to look at a moving image and think of a still image but there’s so much movement in Roy’s photography. You can see the movement even as the moment is caught in time.” — Vinson Cunningham

There is no such thing as the marginal in Roy DeCarava’s photographs, Hilton Als writes. “Women, musicians, vegetation, Harlem: all of it is alive with the experience of being.” https://t.co/gt0n8Y17Iu
