Begun in fall 2003 and completed in early 2006 (after fifty
trips), Rough Beauty explores the character and burden --
and the resilience and off-kilter beauty -- of a community
branded by its history. Vidor is reviled for its history of
Klan activities, but behind this stereotype lingers a town
filled with people who have not been able to lift themselves
up and a crushing poverty sometimes reminiscent of the Great
Depression. Anderson's images show a hidden beauty that lies
dormant even in the roughest places.
