Mil Besos: Ruven Afanador’s Women of Flamenco

In this week’s issue, Ruven Afanador photographed Tyne Daly and Alexandra Silber for Hilton Als’s review of “Master Class,” a play by Terrence McNally about Maria Callas. The style, theatrics, and intensity of the women, as communicated through Afanador’s black-and-white photograph, brought to mind his 2009 monograph “Mil Besos,” of and inspired by the world of flamenco.
