An Urgent Message

Bob Adelman at the Museum of Art in Fort Lauderdale
Ann Beattie, The Paris Review, 21 Feb 2014
Anne Beattie of the Paris Review touts photographs by civil rights photographer Bob Adelman, on display at the Museum of Art in fort Lauderdale. Beattie writes that the exhibition "gives you a chance to see the photographer’s mind at work, frame after frame, and is unforgettable as an image, the people holding hands, some with their hats not yet knocked off, in Kelly Ingram Park, struggling to remain upright in the blast, a fierce, watery tornado that obliterates the sky as it seems to become a simultaneously beautiful and malicious backdrop that obliterates the world."
