'Fan Out High' --when I'm at the High Museum in Atlanta I always try to find a new perspective, an angle I haven't noticed yet, some spot most people never realize. It's getting more difficult as the the visits pile up #art #photography #Atlanta #HighMuseum #museums #galleries
Made in 1945, this black-and-white lithograph sits within American artist Marion Greenwood’s broader commitment to figure-centered work that treats daily life as worthy of monumentality. Greenwood, known for her training in New York and abroad, her mural practice, and years of travel, brings public-scale seriousness into an intimate portrait format because even though the sitter is unnamed, she is not anonymous in feeling. The print shows a seated young Black woman. Her skin is rendered in rich, velvety tones, with soft highlights along her cheekbone, nose, collarbones, and the curve of her forearm. She holds her head high, chin gently lifted, and looks outward with a confident expression as if she’s meeting our gaze without performing for it. Her hair is swept up into a tall, wind-blown shape, adding height and movement to an otherwise quiet pose. She wears a loose, open-neck blouse that almost falls off one shoulder, revealing the strap and lace edge of an undergarment. The fabric is described with broad, chalky strokes that contrast with the darker modeling of her face and neck. Her left arm drapes over the back of a wooden chair, hand hanging loosely, while her left hand rests in her lap. A patterned skirt with dense dark, repeating marks anchors the lower portion of the image. Behind her, a pared-down interior space of suggested walls and a vertical edge like a window frame keeps our attention on her presence and posture. The lithographic medium amplifies Greenwood’s empathy through pressure, grain, and contrast. As velour blacks build dignity, lighter passages leave room for breath and interiority. The girl’s lifted chin and resting hands read as both ease and resolve for an image of girlhood that resists sentimentality, offering instead quiet authority. In a decade marked by upheaval and return, Greenwood’s portrait suggests a different kind of “rural America” … not a backdrop, but a person who is steady, specific, and fully centered.

Circular skylights in the ceiling of the High Museum, Atlanta, Georgia, arranged in a geometric pattern, each recessed into dome-shaped cutouts creating circular glows of white light in vertical rows, with a single small amber light breaking the symmetry.

Nice! I miss and will continue to miss Midtown #Atlanta, especially visits to the #HighMuseum, until democracy returns to the USA.
Went to the High Museum here in Atlanta to see this exhibit many years ago along with the famous painter and lithographer Henri Toulouse Lautrec

Always check your settings. I didn't, so I'll claim the ISO 3200 was 'intended' for filmic grit!

The piece's name is a double-entendre, also referring to workers' right to livelihood & dignity.

Focusing on the positive (not the backslide on all recent health issues): took my Mom to the #Plazatheater for B&W Zorro, the #highmuseum for Georgia O'Keefe, the Botanical Gardens for #orchiddaze, the #taratheater for David Lynch, and #evolation for yoga. Pretty good cross section of my #atllife.
