Committed to the Image

Contemporary Black Photographers

Contemporary Black Photographers

Organized by a team of four led by Brooklyn Museum of Art curator of photography Barbara Head Millstein, this selection of more than ninety photographers (from established figures like Carrie Mae Weems and Gordon Parks to newcomers Fern Logan and Accra Shepp), represented by two works apiece, should nicely map the terrain.

Restricted to currently practicing photographers in 2001, "Committed to the Image" nonetheless promised a historical scope. To be included: iconic civil rights images and portraits of cultural figures, as well as recent work addressing the political and social struggles of today and the emergence of the black middle class. Two years in the making, this ambitious show proved worth the wait.
