This richly illustrated book is the first monograph to explore the
prolific career of the celebrated photographer Anthony Barboza.
Anthony Barboza (b. 1944) is a celebrated artist and writer who has
made thousands of photographs in the studio and on the street since
1963. A member of the Kamoinge collective of photographers in New
York, Barboza is largely self-taught and has an inimitable, highly
intuitive vision that he refers to as "eye dreaming," or "a state
of mind that's almost like meditation." Throughout the years he has
made countless commercial images, including celebrity portraits,
advertisements, and album covers. His personal photographic
projects illuminate his deep investment in the art and concerns of
Black communities, not only in the United States but also around
the globe. This lavishly illustrated volume follows Barboza's
prolific career from his youth in New Bedford, Massachusetts, to
his formative years in New York in the 1960s, to the present day.
An introduction by renowned author and critic Hilton Als
underscores Barboza's importance and impact. An essay by curator
Aaron Bryant contextualizes Barboza's life and career as they map
against major civil rights events in the United States. In an
intimate interview between the artist and curator Mazie M. Harris,
Barboza offers astute, humorous, and intimate musings on his long
career, foundational influences, and artistic legacy. This
monograph, the first on the artist, will appeal to aficionados of
photography and Black art and culture.
My doctor asked me if I drank to excess. I told him I would drink
to anything. What is a bear's favourite pasta? Tagliateddy. How do
snowmen get to work? By icicle. If laughter is the best medicine,
this colossal compendium is an overdose waiting to happen! With
gags grouped into sections ranging from babies and birthdays to
marriage and music, there's something for everyone in these
jest-packed pages. Side effects may include split sides and a sore
jaw.
