Humanitas is the result of a five-year photographic adventure.
During this time, Fredric Roberts traveled extensively throughout
Asia, from India to Cambodia, Bhutan to Thailand, Myanmar to China,
some areas that were recently in the news after being ravaged by
the tsunami. While this collection of images preceded the disaster
and was only coincidentally released in its wake, it became a
timely tribute to these people. Cicero coined the term humanitas
(literally, GCGBPhuman natureGC[yen]) to describe the development
of human virtue in all its forms, denoting fortitude, judgment,
prudence, eloquence, and even love of honor - which contrasts with
our contemporary connotation of humanity (understanding,
benevolence, compassion, mercy). The Latin term is certainly a
fitting title as we are struck not with pity for his subjectsGCO
poverty, but with respect and awe for their individual fortitude
and eloquence: each photograph tells us a compelling story. From a
touching portrait of a mother and child to isolated monks at
prayer, RobertsGCOs fifty-five photographs introduce us to a wide
array of fascinating individuals. With an introduction by Arthur
Ollman, Director of the Museum of Photographic Arts, and an
afterword by Dennis High, Executive Director/Curator, Center for
Photographic Art, Humanitas captures the spirit and the beauty of
each subject and will be a sheer delight to any lover of
photography or travel.
