Photographer Bob Crawford defies the boundaries between documentary-style photography and art photography. As a photographer of the Black Arts and Black Power Movements in the 1960s and ’70s, he captured Black urban style and the extraordinary scenes in the midst of the ordinary, notably many photographs of the Wall of Respect created by the Visual Arts Workshop of the Organization of Black American Culture (OBAC) at 43rd and Langley in Chicago. His work has been widely exhibited and collected in museums and galleries in Chicago, New York, and elsewhere.
