M & M Smith: For Posterity's Sake


The social artistry of African American photographers and twin brothers, Morgan & Marvin Smith

Morgan and Marvin Smith, twin brothers, and prolific African American artists, boldly moved from Kentucky to New York in 1933 to pursue artistic careers. By 1937 they had opened a photo studio next door to Harlem's renowned Apollo Theatre. Thus began 50-year-long careers as still and motion picture photographers, painters, and sound recordists.
