    "There are no tyrannies that would not try to limit art, because they can see the power of art. Art can tell the world things that cannot be shared otherwise. It is art that conveys feelings."

     - Volodymyr Zelenskyy, the President of Ukraine 

    Kerry James Marshall

    Dark and Lovely, 1991
    Kerry James Marshall
    Painting , 35.5 x 35.5 cm
    acrylic, collage, linen

    Illuminated female faces surround the face of the woman in Dark and Lovely, which is also the name of a hair care product. These points of lustre and sparkle reference a kind of glossy beauty. Marshall himself says, these paintings are not about "blackness" per se, but these people are emphatically what they are: black figures.
