Have you visited Kerry James Marshall's exhibition on the Retiro Park (Velázquez Palace). Have a look at some info and we'll comment on it in class.
Kerry James Marshall (1955) is an artist born in Birmingham, Alabama. He now lives in Chicago where he taught at the School of Art and Design at the University of Illinois at Chicago. He is a 1978 graduate of Otis College of Art and Design. Marshall is known for large-scale paintings, sculptures, and other objects that take African-American life and history as their subject matter. His work often deals with the effects of the Civil Rights movement on domestic life, in addition to working with elements of popular culture.
You may want to listen to his speech at Reina Sofía Museum last summer.
