HECTOR ACEBES
Most photographers made no attempt to depict anything but the most crude stereotypes of what white Europeans and Americans expected or wanted to see. Acebes was a glaring exception.
The photographer recently celebrated his 85th anniversary and lives in Bogotá, Colombia. Acebes’ little known work has been rediscovered by the Brussels MoBa
gallery, who is staging this solo show with thirty silver gelatin prints in a
European premier entitled “Hector Acebes: Portraits in Africa 1948-1953.” see more images at http://www.moba.be/acebes_gallery.html |
