Today we ventured to DTLA with the K Family to check out Kerry James Marshall's show which is a 35-year retrospective of his work. Marshall, a child of the civil rights era, set out to redress the absence of African American art. The exhibition contains nearly 80 paintings, all of which contain images of Black subjects going about their daily business, presented with utter equality and humanity. The exhibition was unfolded in chronological order, allowing us to trace the development of Marshall as a painter. We got into MOCA right when they closed off the line and we were able to view the exhibit in 30 minutes (although we wished we had more time). Will this inspire the boys to paint about their lived experiences???
