Modern Heroics
75 Years of African-American Expressionism at the Newark Museum
June 18, 2016-January 8, 2017
This
exhibition presents selected works from Newark’s permanent collection
of African-American art. Taking a fresh look at heroic themes in modern
and contemporary art, this unique exhibition features 32 paintings and
sculptural works with an emphasis on storytelling and expressive
imagery. Mythical and universal subject matter, the bold use of color
and dramatic scale, and the artists’ direct physical engagement with
their materials are all themes explored in this exhibition.
Modern Heroics brings together rarely exhibited works by
leading historical and contemporary African-American artists, placing in
dialogue several generations and a range of self-taught and formally
trained approaches. The exhibition will feature large-scale paintings by
Norman Lewis, Purvis Young, Emma Amos, Bob Thompson and Mickalene
Thomas among others; and sculptural works by Chakaia Booker, Thornton
Dial, Kenseth Armstead and Kevin Sampson.
