DAVE ANDERSON'S 'ROUGH BEAUTY' AT CLAMP ART, NEW YORK
'Rough Beauty' by photographer Dave Anderson is a powerful photographic documentation of the people and places of Vidor, Texas, a poor and isolated town in rural Southeast Texas, most known for its long history as a Ku Klux Klan town.

'This book's title conveys Anderson's conviction that the hard scrabble lives of most of the residents of Vidor are worthy of our attention, but it also conveys that he does not seek to beautify their lives by removing the crude edges.'
Anne Wilkes Tucker, from the book's introduction
