Publisher's Synopsis
Robert Kareka: People & Places showcases one of Robert Kareka's (1934-2020) many talents, concentrating on his black and white photographs from, chiefly, the 1960s, '70s, '80s. Curated by his friend of a half-century, William O'Rourke, an award-winning author of fiction and nonfiction, O'Rourke memorializes their connection by means of a long introduction in the form of a memoir, which chronicles Kareka's artistic development as a photographer and sketches various highlights and lowlights of his long life and their sustained connection. O'Rourke chose over eighty black and white photographs of Kareka's work, an impressive selection, but by no means all, culled from a life lived with intensity, purpose and the aesthetic victories of one man's lifetime in photography.
