A collection of images from Louisiana's artistic renaissance portrays an emerging arts culture, from masked riders at a Cajun Carnical to jazz musicians playing a funeral.

Louisiana Faces documents in images and words the human texture of this remarkable renaissance, not only the painters, sculptors, chefs, musicians, poets, and writers who create the art, but also the ordinary people who in their daily and seasonal rhythms inform that art. Some are living legends, others well-kept secrets; all have a place, and a face, at the feast.
Philip Gould confirms his own part in the renaissance with some 135 stunning color portraits in Louisiana Faces. Using a meld of interviews, anecdotes, history, and commentary, Berry treats outsized political figures and pop culture celebrities as a parade of inspiration for Louisiana artists.
