1) Gold sculpture of a young Black man in hoodie, sweatpabts, sneakers. All In's single figure atop a pedestal base--rendered in bronze with a shimmering gold patina evokes monuments and their associations with wealth and power. 2) Portrait of Black woman with large afro in short sleeve dress against a field of shimmering gold. 3) mahogany sculpture of standing mother crafling a child More text. 1) Thomas Price makes sculptures of imagined composite Black figures wearing everyday clothing. By opting not to depict any specific person, the artist invites audiences to make their own associations about his figures and who they might resemble. The sculpture confronts biases and assumptions about Black subjects in relation to monuments and the figures they typically commemorate. 2) In Lawdy Mama (1969), Barkley L. Hendricks places a portrait of his cousin Kathy against a field of shimmering gold. An early work, the painting appears on an arched canvas and incorporates gold leaf. These formal aesthetics blur together popular motifs used in religious art and architecture during the Byzantine and Renaissance periods when gilded mosaics approximated the light of the divine. 3) The mother and child subject was a recurring motif throughout Elizabeth Catlett’s seventy-year career. A printmaker and sculptor who lived in Mexico from 1946, Catlett depicted the beauty and strength of working-class African Americans and Mexicans. Her activism extended into the political realm, leading her to become a Mexican citizen in the 1960s and be declared an “undesirable alien” by the U.S. government. She was only able to attend the opening of her 1971 solo exhibition at The Studio Museum in Harlem after obtaining a special visa.
