Art and Race Matters: The Career of Robert Colescott
This event has already occurred
Description
The New Museum showcases the long career of Robert Colescott (1925–2009), one of America’s most adventurous and subversive artists. He used satire to explore issues around race, beauty and American culture. One such piece on display, George Washington Carver Crossing the Delaware: Page from an American History Textbook (1975), exemplifies his aims as it comments on the lack of Black people and women in American art.
