A portrait of “Lead Belly” Ledbetter by Charles White (1918-1979), “Good Night Irene,” 1952, oil on canvas, 47 × 24 inches (119.38 × 60.96 cm), Nelson-Atkins Museum of Art, Kansas City, MO. #art #arthistory #blackart #blackartist #blackartists #BlackHistory

From the gallery label: “Charles Wilbert White created this portrait three years after the legendary musician’s death. He painted Lead Belly in his prime playing a popular late-1800s folk song that he was the first to record in 1933. In addition to celebrating an icon of American music, Goodnight Irene is a key example of White’s socially conscious art. White aimed to affirm the humanity and beauty of African Americans throughout his career. Goodnight Irene highlights the artist’s ability to invest his subjects with steadfast dignity and universal resonance.”

In deep thought about successful memorial. I know this is nine years old, but I'm blown away by the complexity of this work. I have always profoundly admired #karawalker, ever since I saw her silhouettes 30 years ago. There is so much here.
