Keith Mallett captures moments in time in acrylic just as James Van Der Zee captured them on film. Andrea J. Loney brings Van Der Zee’s story to life just as he brought the stories of so many to life, especially during the Harlem Renaissance. James Van Der Zee showed the world what he saw in his heart, he made his subjects comfortable and ensured they were ready before taking their picture. He found his place in history through hard work and taking chances. The afterword outlines some of the strategies that James Van Der Zee mastered to set him apart from other photographers of his time. Photo Credits, a Bibliography and suggestions for Further Reading are all included.
