This unknown African-American fellow appears in at least half a dozen "down and dirty"
low quality photographic studies from the Smithsonian's collection of PaJaMa's work.
Despite the technical limitations, the vibrancy and enthusiasm of his modeling come through.
We will see him again later today paired with a white model.
Not having seen this I would never have guessed this was their work.
ReplyDeleteI've seen these studies referred to as sloppy, but I find their "rough draft" nature to be appealing and very much in the moment.
