Larry Clark (born 1943) is an American film director, photographer, writer and producer who is most well known for the movie Kids. His most common subject is youth on the fringe of society who casually engage in underage drug use, violence or sex and who are part of a subculture like punk or skateboarding that "accepts" these activities. As adolescence is the most vulnerable time in life, Clark intends for his exposure of these teenage social taboos to be jumping-off points for popular dialogue, not only to be of shock value. 1943 (MCMXLIII) was a common year starting on Friday (the link is to a full 1943 calendar). ...

Clark was born in Tulsa, Oklahoma, and learned photography from his mother, who was a baby photographer. He began shooting amphetamines with friends when he was 16. After he attended the Layton School of Art in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, and was drafted to serve in the Vietnam War, he published the book Tulsa in 1971. It was a landmark work: a photo documentary illustrating his young friends' drug use in black and white. His follow-up was Teenage Lust (1983), an "autobiography" of his teen past through the images of others. It included his family photos, more teenage drug use and young male hustlers in Times Square, New York City.

After publishing other groundbreaking photographic collections, Clark met young writer Harmony Korine in New York. Together they worked on the screenplay for Kids.

Clark's films often deal with seemingly lurid material but are told in a straightforward manner. His artistry shows through with the moving images as much as with his still ones. Such film directors as Gus Van Sant and Martin Scorsese have, according to Peter Biskind's book Down and Dirty Pictures, been quoted as finding influence in Clark's early work in photography.

However, his films are also often labelled as exploitive and even borderline child pornography by film critics for their frequent and explicit depictions of children and teenagers using drugs and having sex. Kids received an NC-17 rating because of this, and Ken Park has never been widely released for the same reason. Now well into his 60s, Clark continues to document teen/youth culture almost exclusively. Generally, child pornography (sometimes referred to as CP, child porn, KP, or kiddie porn) is an illegal form of pornography, featuring minors. ...
