The piece, which was revealed today by the National Portrait Gallery alongside six other works, 'is a dream that I never knew to dream' says DuVernay.
In an interview discussing her approach to the piece — an undertaking that involved Davis thinking about writing and movement as part of the visual process — the artist explains that while she understands portraits as work that “references the human figure,” for her it’s about a larger context and “not just the physical qualities.”
Davis, who in the above look at her artistic process states she’s “thrilled and honored” to have been able to draw the artist and storyteller, also shares that capturing DuVernay through portraiture is particularly special because “she really values sisterhood” and “camaraderie with other Black women.”
DuVernay is one of seven among the 2022 class of Portrait of a Nation honorees, which also includes chef and humanitarian José Andrés, music mogul Clive Davis, sports legends Serena Williams and Venus Williams, leading public health expert Anthony S. Fauci, M.D., and Children’s Defense Fund founder Marian Wright Edelman.
