Lecture: Teo Allain Chambi
October 19, 2013
noon–1 pm
Nordstrom Lecture Hall at Seattle Art Museum
Martín Chambi created a comprehensive body of photographs from 1920-1950 of Andean culture and history, documenting archeological sites, native peoples, and local customs. His sensitive and penetrating works reveal the social complexity of Andean culture in the modern era. He had a successful studio business in Cuzco and was involved with Pictorialist fine art photography.
His grandson, Teo Allain Chambi, also a photographer, has preserved an impressive archive of original glass plates, photographic images, and ephemera detailing his grandfather’s many awards and contributions. Mr. Allain Chambi will discuss Martín Chambi’s work and his mission to educate the public about this important Peruvian artist.
