EDITORS COMMENTS
DAY: EBONY AND IVORY captures the essence of late 19th-century pictorialism with its stunning platinum print. Created by F. Holland Day in 1897, this fine art photograph showcases the beauty and complexity of African American culture during a time when representation was scarce. In this portrait, an unidentified African American man is seated, draped in an elegant leopard-print fabric that adds a touch of exoticism to the composition. His confident gaze meets the viewer's eyes, conveying strength and resilience amidst societal challenges faced by black individuals at that time. The artist masterfully employs sepia tones to create a sense of nostalgia and evoke emotions associated with turn-of-the-century aesthetics. The use of ebony and ivory symbolism further emphasizes the duality between light and dark, challenging conventional notions of race and identity. Notably erotic yet tastefully executed, DAY: EBONY AND IVORY pushes boundaries within fine art photography by celebrating both vulnerability and empowerment. It serves as a testament to F. Holland Day's artistic vision as he sought to challenge societal norms through his work. This exquisite print from The Granger Collection invites viewers to reflect on our shared history while appreciating the timeless beauty found within diverse cultures.
