Despite its rich layering, the Russell Gordon work product of the last 40 years is relatively simple to read, because it reflects his own social, intellectual and moral development as a man over that time, with all of his characteristics - most notably being an American black man - he searches for those universal truths which best express his own perspective on humanity. The phenomena absorbed by the artist - and the resulting metaphors susceptible of being followed in his work - reflect with a certain linearity the events in the artist's own life. In breaking the bonds which tied him to the poorest parts of Philadelphia, to a family which had no understanding, let alone respect, for the activities of the intellect or the beauties of art, and to an American society in its most conservative pre-Kennedy mode, Gordon has sought and achieved in his art a freedom originating with redemption from the clichés of race and social standing, working towards a luminous vision of human life.
