Abelardo Morell
Morell, Abelardo (b. 1948), Cuban-born American photographer. Brought to the USA by his family, Morell was educated at Bowdoin College and Yale. He has taken perception and camera obscura photography to a new level, projecting, for example, cityscapes onto interior walls of children's bedrooms and printing the results. Influenced in part by magic realism in Latin American literature, Morell's work has visually explored the world of child perception, the lives of paintings on museum walls, and the physicality of books, including Alice's Adventures in Wonderland. He teaches at the Massachusetts College of Art.
