Fascinating artwork from an African American outsider artist with a troubled and tragic life. Most of Clark's art was made from prison.

There's an alternate history of modern art to consider, and it's on display at the Georgia Museum of Art. With 100 or so works of art, the exhibition surveys the riches of a stylistic evolution during the early 20th century often buried in art history books. image: UNC Press https://www.nytimes.com/2023/11/30/arts/design/southern-modern-georgia-museum.html

‘Southern/Modern’: Radical Art Below the Mason-Dixon Line

In the first half of the 20th century, socially conscious artists in the South were great innovators, reflecting on race, progress and the disappearing plantocracy.

Just ordered my copy of The Annotated Book of American Negro Poetry, freshly published through the Lowcountry Rice Culture Project. Very much looking forward to the collection, especially Jonathan Green's illustrations. Word to publishers - I will buy pretty much any book that includes his artwork.

After looking through a few timelines I see I have been remiss in an #introduction. My apologies. I'm a #writer in Atlanta, so I'll talk a lot about that. I'm married with 2 spoiled dogs (which you will see pretty frequently). I love #books, #comics, #movies, #food, #SouthernArt, and a ton of other potential hashtags. Super stoked to be here and to not have to fight my way through a litany of negative posts just to find the good stuff. Really digging mastodon and I hope to toot a lot. 🙂
