Description: In The New Black Vanguard: Photography between Art and Fashion curator and critic Antwaun Sargent addresses a radical transformation taking place in fashion and art today. The featuring of the Black figure and Black runway and cover models in the media and art has been one marker of increasingly inclusive fashion and art communities. More critically however the contemporary visual vocabulary around beauty and the body has been reinfused with new vitality and substance thanks to an increase in powerful images authored by an international community of Black photographers. In a richly illustrated essay Sargent opens up the conversation around the role of the Black body in the marketplace; the cross - pollination between art fashion and culture in constructing an image; and the institutional barriers that have historically been an impediment to Black photographers participating more fully in the fashion (and art) industries. Fifteen artist portfolios feature the brightest contemporary fashion photographers including Tyler Mitchell the first Black photographer hired to shoot a cover story for American Vogue; Campbell Addy founder of the Nii Agency and journal; and Nadine Ijewere whose early series title The Misrepresentation of Representation says it all. Alongside a series of conversations between generations their images and stories chart the history of inclusion and exclusion in the creation of the commercial Black image while simultaneously proposing a brilliantly reenvisioned future.
