Oh my oh my, just got to share a gallery of paintings by an artist I had not thought about for years. Amy Sherald —omg. As I looked through a gallery of 22 paintings, I felt I was holding my breath. Each one, in order by date, each one was a step by step continuation and gathering of power. I encourage you all to take a look. And if you can handle it, read her Wikipedia. I had no idea that you-know-who in the WH caused cancelations both by this artist and by the federal entities. Because, you know why.

Amy Sherald: American Sublime - ArtBMA

The exhibition tells the story of Sherald’s vision and practice through 38 paintings created from 2007 to the present—from her early, rarely seen works to her iconic, larger-than-life portraits of Black Americans in everyday moments, many of which were painted in Baltimore and feature Baltimore-based models.
