>>8071331>A masterpiece of unparalleled formal rigor and graphic grandeur, Past Times is the definitive embodiment of Kerry James Marshall’s revolutionary painterly practice. Lmfao. No author named. This is a paid piece.
>Executed in 1997, the magnificent panorama of Past Times thunderously declares the arrival of Marshall’s mature artistic project: the utter and indisputable mastery of traditional art historical modes to counter the glaring absence of the black figure within the canon of Western painting. Wow cool article anon. I'm totally going to read the rest of this native advertising from someone trying to sell this piece of shit painting.
Last quote from this dumpster fire:
>When questioned about the uncompromising blackness of his figures, the artist himself remarked, “Extreme blackness plus grace equals power. I see the figures as emblematic; I’m reducing complex variations of tone to rhetorical dimension: blackness.”Mmm. Yeah. Good stuff, my nigger.
