KERRY JAMES MARSHALL: MASTRY

Having experienced the black power and civil rights movements as a young black man, Kerry James Marshall devoted his artistic practice to both the representation of African American subjects and the mastering of figurative painting. In this large-scale retrospective, nearly 80 of his works portraying African Americans in domestic interiors, lush landscapes and historical events not only testify to his unwavering commitment, but also offer insight into the evolving attitudes towards race in the US. moca.org
