Fayemi Shakur explores the beauty and deliberate aesthetic choices that make up The Sweet Flypaper of Life. “Mr. DeCarava did not create politicized social documentary photographs that were literal.”
First Print Press started as the fulfillment of a promise from art historian Sherry Turner DeCarava to her husband, master photographer Roy DeCarava, to bring his artwork before the public and keep it in print. It has grown into a comprehensive publishing project of the DeCarava Family, fueled by love, hard work, determination, and dedicated supporters of art everywhere.
