EDITORS COMMENTS
This print features the renowned Jamaican writer and poet, Claude McKay. Taken by a French photographer in the 20th century, this image showcases McKay's commanding presence as he stands tall, exuding confidence and intellect. The photograph is part of a private collection and captures an important moment in literary history. McKay (1889-1948) was a trailblazer in the Harlem Renaissance movement, known for his powerful poetry that explored themes of race, identity, and social justice. This particular image comes from Sisley Huddleston's book "Back to Montparnasse" published in 1931. It offers a glimpse into McKay's time spent in Paris during this period. In the photo, McKay can be seen next to a notice board, perhaps contemplating his next literary masterpiece or engaging with fellow writers and artists who frequented Montparnasse at that time. His stance reflects determination and resilience as he navigated both personal struggles and societal challenges. This remarkable portrait not only pays homage to Claude McKay but also serves as a visual testament to his significant contributions to literature. As we admire this historic snapshot captured by Ken Welsh from Bridgeman Images' collection, we are reminded of the lasting impact of great minds like McKay on our cultural landscape.
