{"product_id":"ming-smith-an-aperture-monograph","title":"Ming Smith: An Aperture Monograph","description":"\"A long-awaited monograph on photographer Ming Smith, whose poetic and experimental images have become icons of twentieth-century African American life. One of the greatest artist-photographers working today, Smith moved from the Midwest to New York in the 1970s and began to make images charged with startling beauty and spiritual energy. This long-awaited monograph brings together four decades of Smith's work, celebrating her trademark lyricism, distinctively blurred silhouettes, dynamic street scenes, and deep devotion to theater, music, poetry, and dance-from the \"Pittsburgh Cycle\" plays of August Wilson to the Afrofuturism of Sun Ra. With never-before-seen images, and a range of illuminating essays and interviews, this tribute to Smith's singular vision promises to be an enduring contribution to the history of American photography.
