About the Item

Digital C-print Signed and numbered on label, verso 10 x 8 inches (Edition of 200) This artwork is offered by ClampArt, located in New York City. Please note that prices increase as editions sell. Manjari Sharma writes: “‘Darshan’ is a Sanskrit word that means ‘vision’ or ‘view’ and is most commonly used in the context of Hindu worship. It can also be defined as an ‘apparition’ or a ‘glimpse.’ One may seek and receive the Darshan of a deity and upon sight that Darshan may invoke an immediate connection between that deity and the devotee. A Darshan can ultimately be described as an experience purposed on helping one focus and call out to his or her sense of spirituality. “‘Darshan’ is a fine art series that aims to photographically recreate nine classical images of Gods and Goddesses pivotal to mythological stories in Hinduism. My vision for this work is to have the reproductions that measure six feet tall. The final presentation of this work would resultantly be a massive print installation in a museum that closely mimics the experience of a Hindu temple, complete with incense, lamps, and invocations, accompanied by detailed texts about the mythological significance of that deity.” Manjari Sharma is an internationally published photo-based artist born and raised in Mumbai, India, and based in southern California. In addition to many private collections, Sharma’s work is represented in the permanent collections of the Museum of Fine Arts, Houston, and the Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York City, and has been showcased in solo and group exhibitions worldwide. Sharma was awarded 1st Place for The CENTER’s Curator’s Choice Award 2014, and her work was selected for an honorable mention for the Santa Fe Prize in 2012. Her photographs have been selected by Review Santa Fe and featured by the Griffin Museum and Photolucida Critical Mass Top 50. The School of the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston, The Rubin Museum of Art, AsiaSociety Museum, and The School of Visual Arts are a few of the places Sharma has been invited to lecture and teach. Sharma holds a bachelor’s degree in Visual Communication from S.N.D.T University, Mumbai, and a Bachelor of Fine Arts in Still Photography from Columbus College of Art and Design in Columbus, Ohio.

Rare Vintage Color C Print Photograph African Maasai Warrior Chromogenic Photo
By Carol Beckwith
Located in Surfside, FL
Carol Beckwith, (American, b. 1945), Maasai Portrait Chromogenic print on paper, from Beckwith's book "Maasai" (1980), Hand signed in pencil, dated and titled with name of sitter in margins, 19" x 16" Sheet. Carol Beckwith (1945-) is an American photographer, author, and artist known for her photojournalism documenting the indigenous tribal cultures of Africa, most notably in partnership with the Australian photographer Angela Fisher. Between them, Beckwith and Fisher have published 14 books, and have had their photos appear in National Geographic, Natural History, African Arts, The Observer Magazine, Time, Life, Vogue, Marie Claire and Elle. They continue to exhibit and lecture at galleries and museums worldwide, including The American Museum of Natural History and The Explorers Club in New York City, The Smithsonian Institution in Washington, DC, and the Royal Geographical Society in London. They have also collaborated on four films about African traditions. Together they have received numerous accolades, including the United Nations Award for Excellence, the Royal Geographical Society's Cherry Kearton Medal, two Anisfield-Wolf Book Awards, The Explorers Club Lowell Thomas Award, and the WINGS WorldQuest Lifetime Achievement Award. Carol Beckwith was born in Boston, Massachusetts, where she went on to attend both the School of the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston and Goucher College in Maryland. After obtaining her degree in Painting and Photography she won a traveling fellowship from the Boston Museum, which let her travel to other countries for the first time. She spent seven months in Japan, living in a Zen temple and studying calligraphy painting. She continued to travel through Southeast Asia and New Guinea, where she witnessed a "sing-sing", a gathering of 90,000 Highland warriors, in Mount Hagen, and paddled up Chambri Lakes in a canoe, an experience she called "one of the most wonderful, and in a way formative, experiences in my life." Her first trip to Africa was in 1973, when she was invited to spend Christmas with a friend in Kenya. Beckwith bought a 45-day roundtrip ticket and ended up staying eight months. There she encountered the Maasai people who invited her to witness a female circumcision ceremony. Astonished by the ritual, she then determined to spend more time with the Maasai. Beckwith studied photography in college but had initially intended to become a painter. It was during her travels through New Guinea that she realized the advantages of photography, saying that "there was such a vast amount of exciting material that I began to photograph instead, approaching photography with the eye of a painter in terms of light, color, composition. I wanted the images to be multi layered experiences in a way that a painting is. . . [Photography] seemed to be a more suitable medium for the pace of travel." Beckwith's first major collaboration was with Tepilit Ole Saitoti, an anthropologist and former Maasai warrior...
