Full-Cataloguing
The image offered here was likely one of two photographs by Consuelo Kanaga included in the exhibition A Showing of Hands, held at San Francisco’s de Young Museum in 1932. In a society still segregated at that time, Kanaga’s radical photograph treats its subject with sensitivity and respect.
