Arthur Grace (born May 7, 1947) is an American photojournalist, documentary photographer, and author whose work spanning fifty years in photography is noted for its in-depth focus on Americana. The author of six books featuring his images, Grace is perhaps best known for his seminal book of black and white photographs of the 1988 U.S. Presidential election, Choose Me: Portraits of a Presidential Race.[1][2] Grace's interest in quintessentially American subjects has resulted in four additional books: Comedians, State Fair, America 101, and Robin Williams: A Singular Portrait. Grace also worked extensively covering life under communism while on assignment for Time and Newsweek behind the Iron Curtain during the Cold War from 1977 to 1989.[3] His most recent book Communism(s): A Cold War Album is a collection of his photographs from that period.[4] During his career in photojournalism, Grace's photographs appeared on the covers of numerous periodicals including Life, Time, Newsweek, Paris Match, and Stern. Grace continues to pursue documentary and personal projects from his home in California.
