Sepia Photograph by Eduardo & Orlando Garcia: Untitled, From Angels of Havana Series, 2005

A crumbling double door frames two ghostly figures, one seen from behind.

This sepia photograph is from Cuba, and is contemporary. It is pigment on paper. Havana is a city whose streets, buildings and people have drawn photographers for generations, and Cuban photography has a strong documentary tradition. Vertical sepia photograph of a weathered doorway with peeling plaster and glazed panels above. A pale figure stands in the left opening and another leans to the right, scraps on the step, with a stained border. It is 8 inches wide and 12 high.

Peeling plaster and mystery, shared in warm brown.
