Prevalence of Ritual/Conjur Woman No. 1

Romare Bearden · 1964

Before you is Prevalence of Ritual/Conjur Woman No. 1 — a photograph by Bearden, nineteen sixty-four. A gelatin silver print — the standard black-and-white photograph of the twentieth century, paper coated in gelatin holding light-sensitive silver, developed by hand in a tray. In the picture, look for the collage of cut paper and the portrait of a person.
