I have been inspired by many photographers, Mapplethrope, Ritts, Sleet, Parks, Arbus, Lange and Van Vechten. Van Vechten was particularly proud of the range of his photographs of blacks. One of the unique features of the collection is a set of photographs of Negroes (already there are eleven boxes with an average of forty photographs in a box) which I have made myself during the past ten years,” Van Vechten told readers of the Crisis in 1942, “perhaps the largest group of photographs of notable Negro personalities ever made by one man.” ~ Carl Van Vechten and the Harlem Renaissance: A Portrait in Black and White. -- source link
