After fleeing South Africa in 1966, he became a "banned person" and settled in New York, but his final years were marked by periods of homelessness and povertyIn 2018 a collection of 60,000 negatives was found at a bank vault in Stockholm, where Cole had lived briefly.

Sim BarrIt's only by coincedence that days after the US government welcomed a group of White South Africans (giving them refugee status saying they face discrimination and violence at home) that I watched this fascinating <a href="https://c.im/tags/documentary" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#documentary</a> on the work of <a href="https://c.im/tags/photographer" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#photographer</a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/ErnestCole" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#ErnestCole</a>. In the 1960s Cole smuggled his prints of Apartheid images out of his homeland to New York where they were published in a book - <a href="https://c.im/tags/HouseofBondage" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#HouseofBondage</a> (1969). It was the only book published during his lifetime. There was no interest in his equally provocative photos of Negro Life in America.The documentary Ernest Cole: Lost & Found is streaming on Hulu. I hightly recommend it.<a href="https://c.im/tags/ernestcolelostandfound" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#ernestcolelostandfound</a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/raoulpeck" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#raoulpeck</a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/film" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#film</a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/filmworld" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#filmworld</a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/photography" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#photography</a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/lostimages" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#lostimages</a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/apartheid" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#apartheid</a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/southafrica" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#southafrica</a>
