RUSS MARSHALL Detroit Photographs, 1958–2008

Nancy Barr Like a few bars of jazz improvisation, Russ James Pearson Duffy Curator of Photography Marshall’s photographs of city nights, over- time shifts, and solitary moments in a crowd resonate in melodic shades of black and white. In his first museum solo exhibition, we experience six decades of the Motor City through his eyes. Drawn from his archive of 50,000 plus negatives, the photographs in the exhibition celebrate his art and represent just a sample of the 250 works by Marshall acquired by the Detroit Institute of Arts since 2012. Russ Born in 1940 in South Fork, Pennsylvania, Marshall settled in Detroit Detroit Naval aviation still camera photographer. He returned to Detroit Marshall with his family in 1943 and began to pursue photography as a Photographs after military service and continued to photograph throughout the hobby in the late 1950s. Some of his earliest photographs give a city. Ambassador Bridge and Zug Island, 1968, hints at his devel- 2 rare glimpse into public life throughout the city in the post-World 3 oping aesthetic approach. In a long shot looking toward southwest War II years. In Construction Watchers, Detroit, , 1960, he Detroit, Marshall considers the city’s skyline as an integral part photographed pedestrians as they peer over a barricade to look of the post-industrial urban landscape, a subject he would revisit north on Woodward Avenue, one of Detroit’s main thoroughfares. In throughout his career. The view shows factory smokestacks that other views, Marshall captured silhouetted figures, their shadows, stripe the horizon, and the Ambassador Bridge stretches out over the atmosphere, and resulting patterns of light and dark. These the Detroit River, glinting under an expansive sky rendered in deep early compositions hint at an evolving stylistic approach he would charcoal tones. refine and apply to his work in later years. Marshall’s passion for photography continued into the decades that followed. Taking a break from Detroit from 1960 to 1964, he enlisted in the Navy and eventually gained experience as a U.S. His empathy for the working class is evident in his large body of portraits...

Marshall continued to develop his personal photographic work, and eventually, his interests led to a professional career, including freelance work for local and national trade and labor magazines from 1975 to 2008. His photographs from these decades reveal a city of contrasts. During these transformational years, Detroit’s single-industry economy saw a decline in jobs, which led, to some extent, to a decrease in the city’s population. Marshall, whose father had worked on a Chrysler assembly line, always connected with his blue-collar subjects. His empathy for the working class is evident in his large body of portraits that mark these challenging years. But even as factories closed and buildings like Detroit’s Michigan Central Station were abandoned, Marshall, a jazz enthusiast and lover of city life here, provided some reprieve from the downturn. He gives a glimpse into the vibrant culture of the city with photo- graphs depicting moments from legendary performances known to Detroit’s thriving music scene, or at places like the city’s bustling Eastern Market and public parks like Belle Isle.

He carefully thought through the themes and aesthetic variations in his oeuvre, revisiting and sometimes reassessing certain images for consideration and discussion. In the end, the exhibition may well represent the confluence of Marshall’s photographic practice and the city’s unique culture—one he has experienced and reveled in firsthand for most of his life.
