Virtual Art Seminar
Black Heroes of Art
Discover the Unsung Black Artists & Models who Left their Mark on Art History
Join an intimate community for four lively discussions on the representation of black people in art. In each class, we will learn about an important black artist or model. We will study art from 1800 to the present, observing societal shifts and artistic movements and the roles played by people of African descent therein. Finally, we will examine work by contemporary black artists. Inspired by two exhibitions – Posing Modernity at Columbia University (2018) and The Black Model at Musée d’Orsay (2019) – this series integrates cutting-edge research from scholars such as Denise Murrell, Cécile Bishop, James Smalls, and Wendy Grossman. No background in art necessary. All that's required is a curious mind.
Sessions are led by Lauren Jimerson, PhD. in partnership with MoAD.
