Hard Truths: The Art of Thornton Dial

Organized by the Indianapolis Museum of Art, this ground-breaking exhibition, presented in the Ella West Freeman Galleries, illuminates 20 years of Dial's artistic life and explores the deep allegorical meanings of his paintings, drawings and sculptures. The most extensive survey of his work yet undertaken, the exhibition chronicles Dial's extraordinary journey from the Black Belt fields and factories of the South to U.S. galleries and museums.
