Your art history post for today: by Elizabeth Catlett (1915-2012), On the Subway, 1986, lithograph, 20 x 16 in. (50.8 x 40.6 cm). As a print, it appears in many collections, both public and private. #arthistory #BlackHistory #blackart #womenartists

A quote from the artist: “I am inspired by Black people and Mexican people, my two peoples.”

From the Museum of Modern Art: “Catlett produced sculptures and prints across her more than six-decade career that drew on her personal experiences as an African American woman, mother, and émigré living in Mexico. Directly addressing people whose perspectives and experiences, like hers, had historically been excluded from artistic representation, Catlett developed a distinctive visual language defined by its carefully delineated forms and strong compositional focus. Merging the political with the personal, her work influenced younger generations of artists, including many associated with the Black Arts movement of the 1960s and ’70s, who shared her activist principles and commitment to harnessing art for Black liberation.”

A great story about quilters and art and history...and Black quilters. Do go look at the quilts on their site

The house may be Victorian, but the colourful decor, murals, and garden are a unique work of 20thC outsider art that deserve to be saved.

Your art history post for today features Afro-Cuban British artist Sonia Boyce (b. 1962): “Lay Back, Keep Quiet and Think of What Made Britain so Great” 1986, charcoal, pastel, and watercolor on paper, collection of Arts Council England. #blackart #womenartists #womanartist

From the website Art History in Schools: “This is a large-scale four-panel history painting which includes a self-portrait of the artist. Nineteenth century British colonial history as told by the white missionaries is re-visited, critiqued, and brought up-to-date. Four panels represent four of the five areas of the British Empire: from the left Africa (Cape Colony), India, and Australia, as seen in Walter Crane’s illustrated 1886 Map from exactly one hundred years earlier. On the right, Sonia Boyce has literally inserted herself as a specific young woman of African-Caribbean heritage, to represent the Caribbean and act as a witness to this history. The wallpaper of the past is in the background behind the contemporary Black British artist.”

Palliative care doesn't mean a patient is at death's door. Here's why
Palliative care has an image problem. Dr. Samantha Winemaker, who has specialized in this field of medicine for 20 years, says most people incorrectly assume the practice is some kind of “Grim Reaper service.” But it's actually about living your best life, she says.

#Ethiopian #artist Tesfaye Urgessa
hopes to generate compassion with his #paintings: “I don’t think most people do wrong or evil things because of a deficiency of information, it’s a deficiency of experience and they don’t know what it means to be in the other position. Painting has the ability to show experience without verbal communication. That’s what I’m trying to do.”

Your Black History Month art post for today: Nelson Stevens (1938-2022), "Yes, We Will," 1972, Mixed media on cream wove paper, 37 1/2x29 7/8 inches (953x759 mm), photo: Swann Auction Galleries April 22nd, 2021. #BlackHistoryMonth #blackart #blackartists

A professor of art at the University of Massachusetts Amherst for more than 30 years, Stevens was associated with the AfriCOBRA movement.

An excerpt from Swann Auction Galleries' essay on this group: ‘The philosophical mission of AfriCOBRA was to create images committed to a sublime expression of the African diaspora that would be identified by and reflected on by all black people. AfriCOBRA's goal was to unite all members of the African Diaspora-they wanted to eliminate the western idea of the self and embrace the progress of the community. The founding members wanted to honor the past, contextualize the present, and prepare for a bright future. To this end, they created a mission statement and tenets that became a manifesto, written by Jeff Donaldson. The artists believed that through collective consciousness their art and objects would propel social and political change in their communities. The aesthetic principles of AfriCOBRA adhered to the ideals of "bright colors, the human figure, lost and found line, lettering, and images which identified the social, economic and political conditions of our ethnic group.".They wanted to embrace "specific visual qualities intrinsic to our ethnic group."' https:// www.swanngalleries.com/news/african-american-art/2020/04/africobra/
