On the occasion of the exhibition
A Greek Portfolio, 50 years on, Constantine Manos, renowned artist of the Greek Diaspora and member of the Magnum Photos agency, will present a slide show with the entire oeuvre.
He will discuss his first professional activity as official photographer of the Boston Symphony Orchestra in 1961; his later collaborations with
Esquire,
Life and
Look, as well as the multimedia application
Where’s Boston?, which led to the publication of the book
Bostonians in 1974. He will discuss at length the voyages he undertook to Greece in the nineteen sixties and his multiple-award-winning work,
A Greek Portfolio. Manos’s talk will close with a presentation of his current work-in-progress, entitled
American Color.
At the end of the event the photographer will sign the final copies of
A Greek Portfolio (W. W. Norton & Co. Edition, 1999), which will be available for sale from the Benaki Museum Shops.
