Signature: "Carl Van Vechten/New York/March 28-1931", 5x3card. Carl Van Vechten
(1880-1964) was a writer, music and dance critic, and portrait photographer who joined the
staff of the New York Times in 1906. he published several collections of essays and 7 novels.
He was an avid promoter of the black artists and intellectuals represented in the Harlem
Renaissance of the 1920s, but his best-selling novel [Explicit] Heaven (1926) proved
controversial, for its portrayal of Harlem life as well as for its title. From the 1930s onward,
Van Vechten's primary interest was in photography; many literary and artistic figures posed for
his camera. His longtime friend Gertrude Stein, for whom he became literary executor,
said that "… having your photograph taken by Carl Van Vechten was a sure sign that you
were 'somebody'." Fine condition.
