Works by Robert D'Alessandro

Robert D'Alessandro... Sixth Ave, New York City (1969, Vintage gelatin silver print). From Works by Robert D'Alessandro at Gitterman Gallery. "...In the early 1970’s the American flag was everywhere. Given the social climate at the time with the Civil Rights Movement, the assassinations of Martin Luther King, Jr., Malcolm X and the Kennedys, the Vietnam War and Watergate, people were actively questioning the ideals their country stood for. The photographs in his 1973 book Glory (Elephant Publishing Corporation, NYC), depict the ways in which people were using the American flag to make their personal feelings about America known."
