EUGENE RICHARD’S, The Dorchester Days, is a portfolio of vintage black and white photographs from the 1970’s, made after working in the South as a social worker and activist. It marked his return home to the Northeast and depicts his neighborhood with its cross section of young and old people, black and white, middle class and poor. The artist’s signature cropping and close up style is evident in the unsparing but tender look at the Massachusetts neighborhood in which he was raised. Initially self-published in the 70’s, the book was re-released in 2000 by Phaidon. This marks its 30th anniversary.
