Harlem: The Vision of Morgan and Marvin Smith Hardcover - 1997
by Morgan Smith; John Smith
In 1933, Morgan and Marvin Smith, twin sons of Kentucky sharecroppers, arrived in Harlem and quickly established their place as visual chroniclers of the life of blacks who achieved success in the face of poverty and discrimination, a photographic career that was to span 30 years. Here is their visual record of Harlem in the years following the Renaissance. 147 b&w photos.
First line
As the history of twentieth-century African-American photographers continues to unfold and to be written, space will have to be reserved for Morgan and Marvin Smith, remarkable Kentucky-born twins whose lives spanned much of the twentieth century and whose images offer a unique perspective on New York City's Harlem in the decades following the fabled Harlem Renaissance of the 1920s.
