Grounded by a unified theory of the visual plane, his work displays a subtle mastery of tonal and spatial elements and devotion to photography as a means of artistic expression. DeCarava contemplated the relationship of his images to the viewer, while also taking on the challenge of revealing less-than-visible terrains. His pioneering work privileged the aesthetic qualities of the medium as a counterpoint to seeing photography as mere chronicle or document and helped silver gelatin photography to gain acceptance as an art form in its own right. Sherry Turner DeCarava is an art historian, curator, and independent scholar in the fields of traditional arts and contemporary American photography. Serving as the executive director, the principal focus of her professional career has been the development of The DeCarava Archives, which supports exhibition and scholarly research projects related to the work of her late husband Roy DeCarava. She is the author of two definitive texts on his photography, published in Roy DeCarava: Photographs (1981) and Roy DeCarava: A Retrospective (1996). In 2014, she initiated First Print Press, beginning a process to republish classic Roy DeCarava books, while bringing new photographic projects into print.
