The Louisiana of Fonville's photography is a part of the vanished culture of the Deep South. His images reveal only a little of the mystery of the Bayou State, but at once the richness of the scenes and the diversity of the subjects shows us what an incredible place it must have been.

Fonville's artistry can be compared wth other photographic greats, like Ansel Adams, but it is more personal.
