THESIS:
Larry Clark’s Tulsa both borrows from and provides commentary on the popular works of contemporary artists from 1945-1970. Clark uses these techniques to shock viewers by using a culturally-informed snapshot-style to lend an eye into the dark lives that could be living in your next door neighbor’s suburban home.
