In September 2018 the photographer Tyler Mitchell makes the cover of the US Vogue edition with a Beyoncé picture. It seems to be usual but it's the first time that an African - American does like that for such magazine. The art critic of the New York Times and the New Yorker Antwaun Sargent agrees to write a book about fifteen photographer like Mitchell he names "The New Balck Vanguard" for the Aperture Art Gallery. Born in United - States, United Kingdom, Switzerland, Ethiopia, Nigeria or South Africa they all improve a huge interest for acid colors, twist stereotypes, integrete the pop culture codes and work for fashion institutions. These photographers put the body whatever the color of the skin is in the middle of their art work building a new picture owning art and culture.
