"It is Hector Acebes's still photographs from his travels in the late 1940s and early 1950s throughout Africa and South American that may become his most important legacy. With the respect they command for the individuals who appeared before his lens, these recently rediscovered images attest to Acebes's photographic gift. They offer a valuable resource for scholars and students of local societies and cultures in Africa and South America." "This book presents the work of Hector Acebes for the first time in monograph form. Over ninety images are reproduced in duotones. Ed Marquand, director of the Hector Acebes Archive, introduces Acebes in a brief biography. Isolde Brielmaier, a noted art historian of African photography, places Acebes's African work in the context of other photographers working in Africa at the time. She also discusses the qualities of his work that distinguish his photographs today."--BOOK JACKET. No library descriptions found. |
