Black artists who are often overlooked… Are you aware of Black artists from the 20th and 21st centuries who are known to art institutions, but are who are not as widely known or celebrated as some of their historical or contemporary peers and are often excluded from mainstream conversations? "For example, Alma Thomas, Jack Whitten, Sam Gilliam, and Frank Bowling are well-deserved citations of the early Black abstractionists, but lesser known to that history, broadly speaking, are Lilian Thomas Burwell, Evangeline “EJ” Montgomery, and Deborah Dancey. While contemporary artists like Kerry James Marshall, Betye Saar, and Faith Ringgold are the founding leaders of contemporary figurative painting and printmaking, the contributions of artists like Malcolm Bailey, Charles Alston, and Camille Billops may not be as widely known or discussed." I learned more about these underrecognized artists by reading an excellent article published in Artsy and written by Maxwell Rabb. Excerpts quoted above - link is in the comments.
