A striking black-and-white gelatin silver print, this work is part of Johnson's ongoing series exploring Black identity, leisure, and intellectual community through the fictional framework of the "New Negro Escapist Social and Athletic Club." The subject, Dr. Minton, is photographed with a composed yet contemplative presence, evoking the dignity and complexity of Black social life and intellectual tradition. Johnson draws on the historical resonance of the "New Negro" movement to examine themes of escapism, aspiration, and the performance of identity.
