#BlackResistance

The Association for the Study of African American Life and History (ASALH) summarizes this year’s theme “Black Resistance” as follows: "African Americans have resisted historic and ongoing oppression, in all forms... These efforts have been to advocate for a dignified self-determined life in a just democratic society in the United States and beyond the United States political jurisdiction… This is a call to everyone, inside and outside the academy, to study the history of Black Americans’ responses to establish safe spaces, where Black life can be sustained, fortified, and respected. "

By resisting, Black people have achieved triumphs, successes, and progress. Black artists, along with other creatives, employ various media to tell stories and create change.

Here is another stack of books that celebrate Black artists whose work resists the status quo, challenges the system, and calls for awareness of the myriad of issues affecting Black people’s lives.

"This 2023 presentation celebrates the remarkable figurative work of Barkley L. Hendricks (1945–2017) through a focused selection of portraiture drawn from private and public collections. This pioneering American artist, who counted the Frick among his favorite museums, continues to inspire artists and designers today...

Barkley L. Hendricks revolutionized contemporary portraiture with his vivid depictions of Black subjects that emphasize the dignity and individuality of his sitters. Beginning in the late 1960s, his work drew from and challenged traditions of European art, and The Frick Collection—with its iconic portraits by Rembrandt, Bronzino, Van Dyck, and others—was one of his favorite museums.

Through a selection of some of Hendricks’s finest portraits displayed in the context of the Frick’s holdings, this exhibition celebrates and explores the remarkable work of this pioneering American painter with an unprecedented display of paintings drawn from private and public collections. Organized by #AimeeNg, Curator at the Frick, and Consulting Curator #AntwaunSargent, Barkley L. Hendricks: Portraits at the Frick considers the complex place of European painting in Hendricks’s art and the evolving role of the Frick in modern American culture."

🎥Reposted from @frickcollection

"Watch as Curator Aimee Ng and Consulting Curator Antwaun Sargent introduce 'Barkley L. Hendricks: Portraits at the Frick...' The show presents fourteen of the finest portraits by the American painter displayed in the context of the Frick—one of his favorite museums—and explores the enduring legacies both of Hendricks’s pioneering work and of the museum itself.

Summer at The Frick Madison

My summer was anything but what I had planned. It was better than some, but still a challenge for good reasons. #theurbnsloth #internship #curate #curatorial #catalog #research #portrait #art #barkleyhendricks #blackart #art #oldmasters #frickcollection

My summer was anything but what I had planned. It was better than some, but still a challenge for good reasons. As I announce my new ventures at the bottom of this article, I am still chasing side hustles to stay sharp and keep it moving through thesis research ahead of graduation. As it’s been a few weeks since the conclusion of the internship, I thought I’d start here as I get more into…

Barkley L. Hendricks (1945 – 2017) was a contemporary American painter who made pioneering contributions to black portraiture and conceptualism. While he worked in a variety of media and genres throughout his career (from photography to landscape painting), Hendricks' best known work took the form of life-sized painted oil portraits of Black Americans. Hendricks' work is considered unique in its marriage of American realism and post-modernism. Although Hendricks did not pose his subjects as celebrities, victims, or protesters, the subjects depicted in his works were often the voices of the under-represented blacks of the 1960s and 1970s. Hendricks even stood alongside his subjects and featured himself in works, like in Brilliantly Endowed (Self portrait), 1977 where he painted himself nude in response to an art critic's comments on his show. Hendricks' work is included in a number of major museum collections, including the National Gallery of Art, the Philadelphia Museum of Art, the Studio Museum in Harlem, and the National Endowment for the Arts. #supportblackart #barkleyhendricks #blackartstory https://www.instagram.com/p/BuKsXzLh6wn/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1joy28dywf7ys

“Anything a black person does in terms of the figure is put into a ‘political’ category ... I paint because I like to paint. I paint because I’m motivated for a variety of reasons that I don’t think are always necessary to blab about.” #barkleyhendricks #soulofanation #art #blackisbeautiful (at The Broad) https://www.instagram.com/p/Bzl6F5sA3gJ/?igshid=19ksd4oybh60d

In The Paint

Barkley L. Hendricks

Via Jack Shainman Gallery

“This early body of work is an exploration and interpretation of abstraction from the perspective of an artist whose practice was deeply interested in social community and representing the idea of Blackness. Created mostly in the late 1960s between his years as a student at Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts and Yale University, the paintings are a formative study of minimalism—an investigation of light, color, line, and geometry based in the shapes of the game and inspired by Hendricks’s own love of basketball and its presence in his community.”
