Larry Clark
Biography
Larry Clark is an American photographer, filmmaker and writer. Born in Tulsa, Oklahoma, he learned photography as a teenager and studied at the Layton School of Art in Milwaukee. After moving to New York City in 1964 to freelance, he was drafted and served in the Army, and his 1971 photo book Tulsa was followed by Teenage Lust in 1983. His photographs are in public collections at the Whitney Museum of American Art and other museums. In 1993 he directed a Chris Isaak music video, which sparked his interest in film. His first feature, Kids (1995), written by Harmony Korine, was released to controversy and mixed reviews. In 2001 he shot three features in nine months, including Bully (2001) and Ken Park (2003), and he won top prizes at the Cognac, Stockholm and Rome film festivals and competed for the Golden Palm and the Golden Lion.
