His images, photographed over seven decades, are a veritable encyclopedia of music, fashion, artistic and political organizations at home and abroad. Brathwaite, 85, made his transition peacefully in his sleep on April 1, according to a family statement.
Inspired in part by the writings of Marcus Garvey and the teachings of Carlos Cooks, Brathwaite’s photography created the visual overture for the “Black is Beautiful Movement” in the early ’60s and ’70s. He energetically spread this idea through his writings and photographs, as well as the activities of the two organizations he helped co-found: AJASS and the Grandassa Models .
Most recently, he was the subject of a major touring exhibition, “Kwame Brathwaite: Black Is Beautiful.” The exhibition traveled to eight cities in the United States: the Skirball Cultural Center ; the Museum of the African Diaspora ; Columbia Museum of Art ; Blanton Museum of Art ; Detroit Institute of Arts ; Reynolds House, ; New York Historical Society and Abrams-Engel Institute for the Visual Arts .
