- The portrait of American society that Fink sketches out starting in the 1950s continues. The Polarities narrates modern America, the radical changes between the Obama years and the arrival of Trump

This book explores Larry Fink's recent works, with a selection of pictures taken over the past five years, examining the series of subjects - near and far - that he investigated. Divided into four sections - 'In Politics, ' 'Countryside Stories, ' 'In Town, ' 'At Home' - The Polarities offers the chance to follow Fink from Washington, New York, and Panama City to rural Pennsylvania.

The portrait of American society that Fink sketches out starting in the 1950s continues. The Polarities narrates modern America, the radical changes between the Obama years and the arrival of Trump, the society of the spectacle - in which 'the show must go on' - and the continuing divide between metropolitan and rural areas. Here, Fink's images recall those of the Farm Security Administration, the great project designed to study American territory between 1935 and 1943.

Larry Fink was born in Brooklyn in 1941. In the 1960s he studied with Lisette Model, who encouraged him to become a professional photographer. Fink is best known for his series Social Graces, which explored social class in America in the 1970s by comparing two different worlds: that of urban New Yorkers at places like Studio 54 and that of rural, working class Pennsylvanians at events like birthday parties. His photographs have been published in Vanity Fair, W, GQ, The New York Times Magazine, and The New Yorker and he has produced several books. Fink has taught for over forty years, most recently as a tenured professor at Bard College. He has received two Guggeneheims and two National Endowment for the Arts fellowships.
