James VanDerZee (1886-1983) was Harlem's leading photographer from 1916 onwards when he opened his studio Guarantee Photos. VanDerZee's photographic range was wide - he made portraits and photographed weddings and public events - and it was this hybrid style which attracted the attention of photographic audiences in the 1990s. Many of his works were featured in the important 1969 exhibition of African-American art "Harlem on my Mind" at the Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York.

Great Art, Not So Great Book,

This review is from: James Vanderzee 55 (Phaidon) (Paperback)
I'm a long time admirer of James Vanderzee's work. The photos that appear in this coffee table book are stunning. However, I only know that because I've seen the photos printed in larger format books. This book is simply too small to do Vanderzee's work any real justice. 5 stars for Vanderzee's artistry. Only 3 stars for this book.
