Brown Skin Lady Arts: Honeywood/Simpson/Catlett
For BHM, I'm thinking I should just share the work of some female artists of African descent. No real commentary or critique - I'm more about artists' statements and raw impressions.
In high school and then when I first moved to New York, I'd spend a couple hours in various museum gift shops just flipping through African-American art books. I come from a very beautiful people.
So here's for yesterday, today & tomorrow:Varnette Honeywood, painter & illustrator
"Generations of Creative Genius"
& my favorite, "Dixie Peach"
Coreen Simpson, photographer & jewelry designer
"Jamien"
"Ebony"
Elizabath Catlett, printmaker & sculptress
"Sharecropper"
"Latch Key Child"
