Kerry James Marshall : history of painting

Marshall, Kerry James 1955- (artist,, writer of supplementary textual content.). Cole, Teju. (writer of supplementary textual content.). Foster, Hal, (writer of supplementary textual content.). David Zwirner LTD, (host institution.).

Summary: "With a career spanning almost three decades, Kerry James Marshall is well known for his paintings depicting actual and imagined events from African-American history. His complex and multilayered portrayals of youths, interiors, nudes, housing estate gardens, land- and seascapes synthesize different traditions and genres, while seeking to counter stereotypical representations of black people in society. Marshall also produces drawings in the style of comic books, sculptural installations, photography, and video. As with his paintings, these works accumulate various stylistic influences to address the historiography of black art, while at the same time drawing attention to the fact that they are not inherently partisan because their subjects are black."--
