African American Art Curator Talk

Bookmark this fantastic recording on Black culture
and art works !!

Virginia Mecklenburg, senior curator, explores the work of Jacob Lawrence, Norman Lewis, Lois Mailou Jones, Melvin Edwards, and other artists featured in the exhibition African American Art: Harlem Renaissance , Civil Rights Era, and Beyond. These artists participated in ongoing dialogues about art, black identity, and individual rights that engaged American society in the twentieth century. Using documentary realism, painterly expressionism, and the postmodern assemblage of found objects, they rewrote American history and its art.

    Yep thanks ever so much for that informative talk about the many African American Artists and the importance of the works they've all produced.
    Sadly there was no one brave enough to formulate a question in which is normally not the case in the number of talks I've attend on "the other Americans arts and Artists"!!!
