Dolly Parton photographed in New York City in 1976 by David Gahr, a black and white portrait from a photographer who spent half a century documenting American music at close range. Gahr's camera moved easily between genres, and here he turns it on one of country music's great voices.
Born in Milwaukee in 1922, Gahr served in the infantry in Europe during the Second World War and studied economics before turning to photography. He became one of the leading photographers of American folk, blues, jazz and rock musicians from the 1960s on, co-authoring The Face of Folk Music with Robert Shelton in 1968 and working on contract for Time from the mid-1960s to the mid-1970s. His subjects ranged from Bob Dylan and Janis Joplin to Miles Davis and Bruce Springsteen, and his work is held by The Metropolitan Museum of Art, MoMA and the Smithsonian.
