#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.

✊🏿#ArtIsAWeapon #Artwork: Portrait of Nat Turner with the Head of his Master, 2011 #Artist: @kerryjamesmarshs #KerryJamesMarshall VIA @eji_org On this day in history - Nov 11, 1831 - Nat Turner was Hanged; Hundreds of Black People Later Killed By White Mobs Angry About Slave Revolt On November 11, 1831, after a rushed trial and conviction, an enslaved Black man named Nat Turner was hanged in Jerusalem, Virginia, after being convicted of leading a revolt against his enslavers. On August 21, 1831, Mr. Turner led a group of Black people in a revolt against slavery. Other enslaved Black people joined the uprising and Mr. Turner's troops grew to 60 to 70 people who fought white enslavers before being defeated by a militia. Many of Mr. Turner's followers were killed or captured immediately but Mr. Turner escaped and evaded searchers for weeks before being captured on October 30, 1831. Enslavers and defenders of slavery throughout Virginia wanted Nat Turner and all who participated in the revolt harshly punished as an example to others who might be inspired by his efforts. At least 18 Black participants in the uprising were executed along with Nat Turner.

TECHNICAL DREAMING - original art

$900.00

Inspired by a random basquiat piece, I decided to replace elements of the painting with my own objects while retaining the original symmetry between objects in the original paitning.

I would classify this as #PopSurrealism

Lu // Kerry James Marshall // PAST TIMES

Leute, wo bin ich hier gelandet? Ein Zeitsprung ins Amerika der Vergangenheit, ein Blick in die Picknick-Gesellschaft der wohlhabenden weißen amerikanischen Vorstadt der 50er Jahre. Gemütliches Verweilen am See zwischen Picknickkorb und Gute-Laune-Musik. - Golf, Bootfahren, Rasenspiele - die Figuren in Past Times suggerieren das ultimative Bild amerikanischer Freizeit. Im Vordergrund des Gemäldes lümmeln sich eine Frau und zwei Kinder auf einer fröhlich rot-weiß karierten Decke, während im Hintergrund ein Mann mit einem souveränen Schwung seinen Golfschlag ausführt und den Ball scheinbar unbekümmert in Richtung See, Boot und Wasserskifahrer schlägt. Bis hin zum Familienhund, der sich entspannt auf der Picknickdecke zusammenrollt, schreit das Bild nach amerikanischer Vorstadtidylle in Frieden. Der Betrachter erwartet zu Recht, dass im nächsten Augenblick Rod Hudson und Doris Day ins Bild treten und einen belanglosen, naiven Dialog verlieren. Großstadtsiedlungen am Horizont runden diese sonnendurchfluteten Momentaufnahme unter blauem Himmel formschön ab. Aus der Musikanlage tönen Versprechungen wie "Wer spielt … mit Herz und Können / Wird auch mit Herz und Willen arbeiten" und beschwören damit den Wohlstand durch harte Arbeit, den der so genannte amerikanische Traum lange suggerierte. Doch die weißen amerikanischen Vorstadtpicknicker sind nicht weiß. In Past Times kehrt Marshall die Erzählung radikal um und setzt die schwarzen Figuren auf grandiose und unmissverständliche Weise in die inszenierte Landschaft. Mit einer Mischung aus liegenden und stehenden Figuren. In ihrer eleganten Lässigkeit erinnern die Figuren an Édouard Manets Picknick-Gemälde „Frühstück im Grünen“. Dein Lu

#Artwork: "Portrait of Nat Turner with the Head of his Master"

#Artist: #KerryJamesMarshall

I stared at this masterpiece for a good while and smiled from the inside out when I saw it at The Metropolitan Museum of Art a few years ago!

•

📸Images 2&3, and caption reposted from @nmaahc #OnThisDay [August 21] in 1831, Nat Turner led a rebellion of enslaved people in Southampton County, Virginia. This early rebellion and resistance represented a deep yearning enslaved Black Americans had towards freedom from slavery and deliverance from the persistent presence of racism.

Born in enslaved in 1800, Turner believed he was called by God to deliver his people from slavery. He used his talent as a preacher and radical orator to convince others to join his revolt. The group of rebels marched throughout Southampton County killing at least 55 people, including his master’s family, until authorities crushed the revolt. Turner avoided capture for nearly 2 months before he was caught tried in the Southampton County Court and hanged on November 11, 1831. Turner’s revolt sent shockwaves throughout the South, as many began to fear the possibility of future slave revolts and violent rebellion. In retaliation, many state and local governments throughout the South passed laws restricting enslaved people’s lives in response to Nat Turner’s rebellion.

During the colonial period, anti-slavery practices from rebellions, abolitionist oration, metaphorical literature, and more, provided African Americans with the means to navigate oppression, emboldening them to create cultural heroes and figurative spaces of community and empowerment.

✨ T A R I Q O L I V E R ✨ Tariq Oliver Judge and George, 2022 Acrylic, oil pastel, charcoal and color pencil on canvas 30 x 30 inches Private Collection @tariq_oliver ✨ Born in Lagos, Nigeria, and having lived in London, Madrid and Spain, Tariq Oliver is a contemporary artist embarking on a career to bring innovation to the ever-changing art world. His inspiration derives from the harsh realities he has faced throughout his lifetime.

His paintings are heavily influenced by his life, experiences, moods, and thoughts. His artwork is often perceived as multifaceted experiences that induce the audience to be in touch with an emotional exploration of people. His artwork also offers multiple perspectives that stray from traditional schools of thought. He utilizes acrylic paints, oil pastels, charcoal, and pigment sticks to craft his paintings. He is based in Newark, NJ. #Nigeria #BlackArt #BlackIsBeautiful #BlackPainters #KerryJamesMarshall #FigurativeArt #ArtificialRealism #Flowers #Blackness #GeorgeCondo #Surrealism (at Beverly Hills, California) https://www.instagram.com/p/Ck7AHbWva6Q/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
