Van Leo rose to fame as one of the top studio photographers of the Arab world from the 1940s–1960s. A new exhibition taps into the cult of personality,…
The renowned Armenian Egyptian studio photographer’s camera work, which traces his career from the 1930s to the 1990s, is on display.
“In Lebanon, they give us this term which I hate, and that is ‘resilience’ because we never had the choice whether to be resilient or not.”
The first international survey of work by the late Armenian-Egyptian studio photographer Van Leo is currently on display in the Hammer Museum at the University of California, Los Angeles as a collaboration between the museum and AUC’s Rare Books and Special Collections Library, which holds the Van Leo collection, with additional collaborative support from the Arab Image Foundation in Beirut. Becoming Van Leo is showing until November 5 and includes ephemera and some photographs printed from negatives for the first time.
