Constantine Manos: A Greek Portfolio
More Photography
April 7 - October 22, 2023
Columbia-born photographer Constantine Manos traveled to Greece in the early 1960s, where he photographed the everyday lives of villagers over three years. The resulting work, first published in 1972 as A Greek Portfolio, quickly earned him international recognition. In 1978, he donated 50 of those prints to the Columbia Museum of Art, a selection of which is on view in this exhibition. Experience the beauty, simplicity, and hardships of rural Greek life. See the intimate images of love, loss, faith, and family on display in A Greek Portfolio.
