This exhibition showcases the works of African-American artists spanning two decades. Inspired by Emory Douglas’s statement that the ghetto itself is the gallery for revolutionary artists, the exhibition challenges traditional notions of art spaces. It offers a chance to revisit and re-examine familiar areas while focusing on the often-ignored African-American artists. The artworks grapple with significant moments in the fight for civil rights, reflecting both pain and defiance. This exhibition celebrates their struggle for visibility and the right to exist in these spaces.

Initially overlooked, his work gained recognition with the publication of “Early Color” in 2006. Leiter is now regarded as a post-war photography icon, with his photographs held in prestigious collections worldwide. This exhibition is the first major retrospective of Leiter’s work in the United States, and features over 200 photographs.

‘Picasso: Matter & Body’

When & Where

  • May 8-Sept 10, The Museo Picasso, Málaga, Spain
  • Sept 29-Jan 14 Guggenheim Bilbao, Spain

Although Picasso’s sculptures were often overshadowed by his paintings, they played a significant role in his artistic career. It wasn’t until 1966, with the exhibition “Hommage à Pablo Picasso” in Paris, followed by a dedicated exhibition at the Tate Gallery in London the next year, that his three-dimensional works received critical attention. However, Picasso himself viewed sculpture as equal in importance to painting, considering them complementary forms of expression. He saw the interplay between painting and sculpture as a means to explore and define the essence of each medium. As Pierre Daix states, Picasso was “at least as great a sculptor as he was a painter.”

After Impressionism: Inventing Modern Art

When: Until 13 August 2023

Where: The National Gallery in London, England

he exhibition you are describing sounds fascinating! It would be amazing to see how these artists broke with tradition and laid the foundations for modern art. I especially like that the exhibition focuses on the influences of Cézanne, van Gogh, and Gauguin on other artists. It will be interesting to see how their work inspired others to create new and innovative art. The exhibition includes a variety of media, including paintings, sculptures, and drawings. This will give visitors a well-rounded view of the art of this period.
