Frame Size: 17.25 in H x 19.25 in W x 1 in D Condition: Museum Quality ABOUT BURK UZZLE Burk Uzzle (1938- ) was born in Raleigh, North Carolina and has spent his adult life as a professional photographer. Grounded in documentary photography, he was the youngest contract photographer when he was hired by Life Magazine at age 23. For sixteen years, during the 1970’s and 1980’s, he was an active contributor to the evolution of Magnum Photos and served as its president in 1979 and 1980. While affiliated with Magnum, he produced iconic and symbolic images of Woodstock and the assassination and funeral of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. His archive spans more than six decades and captures much of the history of analog and digital photography. His current bodies of work rest deep in social justice issues. A dozen years ago, Uzzle returned to North Carolina to live and work in two century old industrial buildings located in downtown Wilson not far from where he was born. With the energy and determination of someone half his age, he wakes every morning at 5 am, takes an hour to swiftly bike all over the town before the sun is up, and then gets to work. Disciplined, organized, and always open to ideas emboldened through keen intuition, Uzzle states with conviction that photography is his reason to breathe and what he sees is his muse.
