- Black American Portraits at LACMA by ArtAboveReality
What is a portrait? Is it just a snapshot of a face? A seizing of the moment of human expression? Or is it more? Many believe that portraits have a way of capturing a personality, a human essence if you will. Portraits are used to remember loved ones, honor distinguished citizens who gain honors through achievement and capture the emotions of a subject with an ability to extract feelings that arrest the viewer with their presence.
Black American Portraits features over 140 works in different mediums with hopes of examining African-Americans as subjects over the last two centuries.
This show is a tribute to the late David Driskell, a well-regarded artist, curator, and pioneer for the arts who was the ultimate champion for the awareness, exhibition, and collection of black artists by institutions. His seminal exhibition Two Centuries of Black American Art, which took place at LACMA in 1976, was the first comprehensive survey of African American art.
This video is a genuine contribution to the Black arts world. The art and artists are presented lovingly and respectfully as the important contributions to our culture that they are. I watch it from time to time for joy. It ages well and prophetically.
Thank you much!
You introduced me to art and artist unknown to me. You spread my curiosity and awareness. I appreciate you.
@@msteaguer1908 this means so much! Thank you!!
SO sad some things can not be said. Very !!
What an outstanding guided tour of this amazing exhibit! . Living in Florida it is not likely that I would get to visit LA to see it in person. Thank you so much!
Thanks for watching! I’m gonna be adding more walkthroughs and critiques on exhibitions to the channel very soon. Glad you enjoyed it!
Thanks for doing thus as a service, especially those of us not in the region. I share your opening comments about the rush to correct collections. I enjoyed this, however what remains in the shadows, overlooked due to not being urban based in this rush...
Thanks for watching! Art history and Art market always clash and with an exhibition this it’s more marketing than culture unfortunately.
Love the video!
Thanks!
Nice...artlife always i2f the artist...one love...blessings
@@artlifealways... thank you!! 🙏🏾
Really appreciate your detailed and candid review. This exhibition was not possible to experience in one visit. Thank you for this.
🙌

I need captions
Thank you for doing this work not enough people at all do it. I love the detail and how insightful it is. I be trying to find black art vids but RUclips doesn’t show it enough
Thanks much! RUclips doesn’t show it enough because we as black peoples don’t support our art enough. They go by the numbers and choices. The work is definitely important and I love doing it. 💪🏾
Thank you for the journey!
Thank you!
@@Angela-pi6zc thank you for watching!
Very insightful and informative! I enjoyed watching this so much, because I could savor each piece. Seeing the show in-person was overwhelming, and I think I missed a lot because I couldn't take it all in. Enjoyed this.
Glad you enjoyed it!
“Collection Correction” 😂 Dead! I love the humor! Subscribe immediately after I took a 10 minute hiatus to laugh😊
@@ObserveArtAdvisory hahaha gotta have some wit while talking about this stuff lol thanks for watching and subscribing!!
@@ArtAboveReality Ah you replied! Thank you. Also, I reposted your Valerie Jean Maynard video. I found it nearly impossible to recite your language as quickly as you did for your shorts! Mind blown. You did it in 1:26 seconds! I tried 4 times to say it all that fast. One day I’ll build up a visual library like yours.
@ I know I gotta get to these comments much faster.. I’m working on it though :) you’ll get there! The key is just being able to craft the messaging in a concise manner and think about having a conversation without someone. 🤲🏾🤲🏾

@@elliee8683 thanks for watching!!
It's like there was a rush to throw together an exhibit with enough art to say, "here, it's black art, happy? deal with it.." I was disappointed too, thankful but it could have been spread out and grouped better in a few instances.
Totally agree

What piece is that in the thumbnail?
Benny Andrews, For Colored Girls, 1977
This exhibition was hung to overwhelm. I wish the groupings had been segmented with panels for intimacy and context. What was the point of view and the underlying statement? Too much and not enough.
Totally agree with you on that.
