OverviewAnderson's images explore the character and burden of a community branded by its history. Behind the stereotype lingers a town filled with people struggling to get by against a background of crushing poverty almost reminiscent of the Depression. He sees their resilience and senses the off-kilter beauty that lies dormant even in the roughest places. ""This book's title, ""Rough Beauty"", conveys Anderson's conviction that the hard scrabble lives of most of the residents of Vidor, Texas, 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. ""Rough Beauty"" was the winner of the Santa Fe Center for Photography 2005 Project Competition. The exhibition tour begins in the fall of 2006 and continues throughout 2007.
