Duane Michals: The Adventures of Constantine Cavafy

“Please meet me in the circle of this conceit. These little fables of my imaginary theatrics repeat the mantras of Cavafy’s desires and so old today, now gone away.”―Duane Michals
Duane Michals (born 1932) returns to the verse of 20th-century Greek poet Constantine Cavafy for inspiration for his most recent work. Michals’s images loosely illustrate Cavafy’s poetry, while investigating themes of lost time, love discovered and remembered and the sublime realm of the surreal.
