From the Text: \"The Nation\'s capitol in Photographs, 1976 is an unprecedented Bicentennial project originated by The corcoran Gallery of Art. Eight eminent American photographers have been invited to spend extended periods--at least a month--in Washington, D.C. during 1975-76 to photograph the city, its environs and people, as each was guided by his own vision. thus we hoped to achieve a diversified documentation of place and time. A selection of four prints by each artist is to be earmarked for exhibition at the corcoran in the Tricentennial year 2076. The participating artists, each shown separately, two at a time in four stages thorughout the year 1976, are Lewis Baltz, San Francisco; Joe Cameron, Washington, D.C.; Robert Cumming, Los Angeles; Roy DeCarava, New York City; Lee Friedlander, New City, New York; John gossage, Washingtpon, D.C.; Jan Groover, New York City; and Anthony Hernandez, Los angeles. The artists were selected by Chief Curator Jane Livingston and Assistant Curator Frances Fralin. As organizers of this series of exhibitions they have been responsible for the complete task of scheduling and working with the artists at every stage of the project\'s long development, and for producing the eight catalogs. I wish to express my special appreciation to them and to each of the eight artists for their unstinting cooperation. The exhibition is supported by grants from the Morris and Gwendolyn Cafritz Foundation, Washington, D.C., and the National Endowment of the Arts, Washington, D.C., a Federal agency. Roy slade. Director\"
According to Wikipedia: \"Roy DeCarava (December 9, 1919 – October 27, 2009) was an American artist. DeCarava produced five major books, including The Sound I Saw and The Sweet Flypaper of Life as well as landmark museum catalogs and retrospective surveys from the Friends of Photography and the Museum of Modern Art in New York.[1][2] The subject of at least 15 single artist exhibitions, DeCarava was the first African American photographer to win a Guggenheim Fellowship and in 2006, he was awarded the National Medal of Arts from the National Endowment for the Arts, the highest award given to artists by the United States Government.[3] Roy DeCarava died on October 27, 2009.[4]\"
