Art Talk – Repercussions: Redefining the Black Aesthetic
This special bonus episode is from an art talk at The Eubie Blake Cultural Center with Rob Lee and Jason V with curator Thomas James. We’re discussing Repercussions: Redefining the Black Aesthetic. Recorded in September of 2021. Repercussions: Redefining the Black Aesthetic “More than 50 years removed from the 1960s ‘new abstraction’ movement, contemporary Black artists are creating abstract works that add new layers to what we consider fine art. This work is important to analyze as these artists tell new stories, inserting themselves into the conversations affecting the modern world.”
