Item Description
The photography of Chester Higgins, Jr. can be found within the pages of The New York Times, where he has been a staff photographer since 1975. As one of the premiere African American photographers working today, he continues to exhibit in museums throughout the country and abroad.
The Elder Grace portrait series is a love song to the nobility of aging, and was on the traveling photographic exhibition that featured eighty personal portraits of African American elders and their thoughts about the experience of aging.
The process of aging for some elder people can translate into a mysterious reservoir of wisdom—people who miraculously blossom, seasoned by years of living. Through the lens of his camera, Chester Higgins Jr. takes a look at eighty thriving African-American men and women who found beauty within themselves and are experiencing aging with energy, wit, and grace. Alongside each portrait are comments from the subjects that express a collective wisdom about life and aging. As our population grows older and begins to sift through and reflect upon life experiences, the real-life inspiring models of elderhood in Elder Grace are sure to bring comfort and inspiration to many.
