Green Family Art Foundation makes a splash with ‘Black Abstractionists’
Mark Bradford's "Q2," a 2020 mixed-media-on-canvas work, is featured in "Black Abstractionists: From Then 'Til Now." The show runs at the Green Family Art Foundation through Jan. 29.made its home in the Design District’s River Bend development, an enclave mainly frequented by artists and art patrons.
The first large exhibition in the new space is “Black Abstractionists: From Then ‘Til Now,” and the first spotlight show is “Oh, Man!,” featuring works by Bernadette Despujols. More than an antidote to the white, male, midcentury artists who typically dominate abstract painting, the show is a historical dive into the unique complexities that Black artists — particularly those of the pre-21st century — have faced as abstractionists in a world that expects them to regurgitate a prescribed “Black experience” through figurative and representational imagery.
“Black Abstractionists” demonstrates how myopic and misguided these rationales were. The urban lyricism of early artists like Alma Thomas and Charles Alston; the dreamy innovation of Sam Gilliam and Jack Whitten; the grounded mysticism of Glenn Ligon, Mark Bradford and Theaster Gates; and the self-possessed mythologies of burgeoning artists Oscar Murillo and Michaela Yearwood-Dan.
