Description
Hugh Mangum - Untitled #4

Technique: Archival inkjet print

Artist Biography: Hugh Mangum fue un fotógrafo estadounidense del siglo XIX y principios del siglo XX que se especializó en retratar a personas de diversas razas y clases sociales. Nació en 1877 en Durham, Carolina del Norte, y comenzó a fotografiar en su adolescencia. Trabajó principalmente en Carolina del Norte y Virginia, y se destacó por su habilidad para capturar la personalidad de sus sujetos y su interés por la diversidad humana.A lo largo de su carrera, Mangum fotografió a una amplia gama de personas, desde trabajadores agrícolas hasta prominentes líderes afroamericanos y blancos. Sus imágenes son notables por la forma en que presentan a personas de diferentes orígenes sociales y étnicos con dignidad y respeto. A menudo fotografiaba a sus sujetos en poses espontáneas y en interacciones informales, lo que refleja su interés en la conexión humana.Mangum también experimentó con técnicas de fotografía creativas, como la sobreimpresión y la alteración manual de las placas fotográficas, lo que le dio a sus imágenes una cualidad única y artística. Aunque no tuvo un gran reconocimiento en vida, su trabajo ha sido redescubierto y valorado en la era moderna por su contribución a la historia de la fotografía y su representación de la diversidad humana.En la actualidad, su obra ha sido expuesta en varias galerías y museos de Estados Unidos y ha sido objeto de varios libros y documentales. Su trabajo ha sido descrito como un ejemplo de la capacidad de la fotografía para conectar a las personas y crear un registro histórico de la diversidad cultural de una época. En resumen, Hugh Mangum fue un fotógrafo innovador que capturó la diversidad humana y la dignidad de sus sujetos a través de su habilidad para conectarse con ellos y su creatividad fotográfica.

 

In this landmark project we have collaborated with Duke University to bring the work of Hugh Mangum (1877-1922) to light for the first time in Europe. After his unexpected death in 1922 at the age of 44, Mangum's black and white glass plate negatives were stored and forgotten in the barn on the family farm in Durham, North Carolina. Doomed to demolition in the 1970s, the barn was saved at the last minute and, with it, this amazing and extraordinary living document of a turbulent era in the history of the American South. In the late 1890s, Mangum ventured out as a traveling portrait photographer, traveling primarily in North Carolina and Virginia during the rise of the Jim Crow era, a period that saw the push for black and white segregation laws. Despite this, his portraits reveal a clientele that was racially and economically diverse, and depict lives marked by hard work and opulence, all imbued with a strong sense of individuality and entrepreneurship. One of the most profound surprises of Mangum's photography is its freshness, artistically speaking. He had a charm and curiosity that is often reflected in the faces of his models. In other images, their presence becomes invisible and the models seem lost in their inner, private worlds. Mangum's ability to capture these moments of vulnerability and intense self-recognition lies at the heart of his gift as a photographer. The people in these portraits look back at us from a century past, through the indelible marks of loss and indifference. We might think that the difference of a century is considerable, and in many ways it is very true. However, these portraits suggest to us that the distance between the past and the present, between them and us, is far less than we would expect.
