I am now a member of the deYoung Museum in San Francisco. I now am a member of the major museums in the Bay Area (Legion of Honor, SFMOMA, Oakland Musuem) which is quite scary. Sorry for the personal plug. Anyway, the deYoung has this great exhibit called "Soul of a Nation", it is art made by Bay Area African-American artists during the decades of Black Power (1963-1983). To me it was extremely powerful to see this art (Sorry if I have some weird angles as the exhibit is always packed):
Growing up in that era, it was nice to see art work by Bay Area African-American artists from that era that promoted personal and cultural pride as well as collective solidarity, empowerment and polticial and social activism.
Happy Tuesday. Thanks for sharing your Museum's artwork. I think having art as a talent would always be a plus. :)
ReplyDeleteI enjoyed the variety presented in your photos. Beautiful artwork. It looks like a museum worth visiting.
ReplyDeleteGood for you for supporting the museums!
That would certainly be an unusual place to visit. Very talented artwork :)
ReplyDeleteI'm so glad to see you at 'My Corner of the World' this week!
