Founded in 1929, The Museum of Modern Art owes much of its early success to a number of remarkable women who shaped the future of the institution in its first decades. As founders, patrons, curators, and directors of various departments, these figures boldly defied societal norms to launch this radical venture during the depths of the Great Depression. They were fortunate in the freedoms afforded by uncharted territory: because the notion of a...

But his place in art history has been hard to define-his exploration of a nu...

Published in conjunction with an exhibition at The Museum of Modern Art, New York,...

I am an invisible man. No, I am not a spook like those who haunted Edgar Allan Poe, nor am I one of your Hollywood movie ectoplasms. I am a man of substance, of flesh and bone, fiber and liquids, and I might even be said to possess a mind. I am invisible, simply because people refuse to see me." These opening lines to Ralph Ellison's epochal novel The Invisible Man (1952) served as the inspiration for a series of photographs Ming Smith made fr...
