Larry Clark Tulsa

Tulsa is a collection of black-and-white photographs by Larry Clark of the life of young people in Tulsa, Oklahoma. Its publication in 1971 “caused a sensation within the photographic community”, leading to a new interest in autobiographical work. Later better known for directing the movie Kids, Clark was a Tulsa native and a drug addict during the period (1963–1971) when he took the photographs. The book is prefaced by the statement:

Larry Clark The Perfect Childhood

The Perfect Childhood combines an overview of Clark’s work-ranging from collages and found images to photographs from his native Oklahoma in the late 1960’s-with a new series of tender and erotic portraits of a skater boy-the latest incarnation of the mythical eternal youth Clark investigates and idolizes in his work. Material from the past 30 years is combined to create one new work of art-overwhelming proof of the consistency of Clark’s artistic vision. The book is as raunchy and brutally straightforward as it is melancholy and affectionate. Its attitude will confound all those thinking in comfortable and complacent opposites-gay and straight, creative and destructive, tenderness and violence, good and evil. Clark’s work is a mirror for those strong enough to face the truth about growing up as a boy.”

Clark moved to New York City to freelance in 1964, but was drafted within two months into the United States Army. He served in the Vietnam War in a unit that supplied ammunition to units fighting in the north from 1964 to 1965. Due to experiences there he published the 1971 book Tulsa, a photo documentary illustrating his young friends’ drug use in black and white.

From 1963 to 1971 routinely carrying his camera, Clark produced pictures of his drug-shooting coterie that have been described by critics as “exposing the reality of American suburban life at the fringe and … shattering long-held mythical conventions that drugs and violence were an experience solely indicative of the urban landscape.”

His second film was Teenage Lust (1983), an “autobiography” of his teen past through the images of others. It included his family photos, more teenage drug use, graphic pictures of teenage sexual activity, and young male hustlers in Times Square, New York City. Clark created a photographic essay titled “The Perfect Childhood” that examined the effect of media in youth culture. His photographs are part of public collections at several art museums including the Whitney Museum of American Art, Museum of Photographic Arts, and the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston.

Clark directed Chris Isaak’s music video “Solitary Man”in 1993 . This experience developed into an interest in film direction. After he published other photographic collections, Clark met Harmony Korine in New York City and asked Korine to write the screenplay for his first feature film Kids, which was released to controversy and mixed critical reception in 1995. Clark continued directing, filming a handful of additional independent feature films in the several years after this.

Clark shot three features Bully in 2001,Ken Park and Teenage Caveman over a span of nine months, As of 2017 they are his last films to feature professional actors.

Clark in 2002 spent several hours in a police cell after punching and trying to strangle Hamish McAlpine, the head of Metro Tartan, the UK distributor for Clark’s film Ken Park. As stated by McAlpine, who was left with a broken nose, the incident arose from an argument about Israel and the Middle East, and he claims that he did not provoke Clark.

Clark discussed his lifelong struggle with drug abuse in a 2016 interview, although he stated that he maintained total sobriety while filmmaking. Clark explained that his films were made in periods of complete sobriety. He admitted that the only exception made to his practice of abstinence while filming was Marfa Girl. Clark explained that while filming that movie he used opiates for pain due to double knee replacement surgery.
