"Untitled," Minnie Evans, 1959.
Evans (1892-1987) was a self-taught Black folk artist who didn't begin drawing until she was in her 40s, working at the ticket booth at Airlie Gardens in Wilmington, NC.
Inspired by her inner visions, her religious faith, her regard for her ancestors, and her surroundings, she created many intricate images of faces amid flowers and foliage. The faces could be her ancestors, or her version of spiritual guides, or something else altogether.
She once said that her flower paintings were her vision of heaven, dismissing the idea of heaven as white and full of clouds, but instead a joyous garden of rainbow colors.
Her work, which began in the 40s, was in many ways a forerunner to psychedelic art of the 60s and 70s; this would not have been out of place on the wall of a hippie's flat.
From the American Folk Art Museum, New York.

"The Blue Tiger," Horace Pippin, c. 1933-37.
Pippin (1888-1946) was a self-taught Black American artist who took up painting after losing an arm in WWI.
While he never really subscribed to any school of art, he's generally credited as a Modernist, although I generally regard him as a Naive, but in the best way, as someone whose style developed from his personal passions rather than an academy.
His work often depicted Black American domestic life, but also depicted historic scenes (his first known painting is of his last memories of the battlefield; another notable painting is of John Brown going to his execution), religious themes, and various symbolic works.
At the time, a blue tiger was a symbol for something unattainable, and a bear represented the wilderness. But many feel that this painting is a symbol of racial conflict. Sadly we have nothing from the artist himself to hint at his intention, but there are other paintings that directly address racism and prejudice.
From the Indianapolis Museum of Art.

#InterculturalInsights on #WMPG alternates between four different segments... A brand new one, #TheWeavers, airs on the first Tuesday of the month at 11:30am - 12 noon (right before #DemocracyNow). The other three shows are great as well... Shows available for five weeks after airdates via the audio archives...
"Intercultural Insights offers four different shows that air once a month.
On the first Tuesday of every month The Weavers are weaving the values of their ancestors into the world we share today. Hosts #LisaSockabasin and #NancyLaCoote explore #Wabanaki values and how these values are lived (or not lived) today.
"On the second Tuesday of each month, #ReturningTheLand is hosted by USM professor Dr. #DavidLowry, the founder of the #IndigenousPeoplesTrust—an initiative calling for justice and the return of Indigenous land.
"The third Tuesday of the month features Dr. #IdellaGlenn, the Vice President of Equity, Inclusion, and Community Impact at USM with her show: Building USM’s Beloved Community. Unspired by Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.'s Beloved Community, Dr. Idella Glenn sits down with members of the community to foster and embrace the all-#inclusive spirit of USM.
"And on the fourth Tuesday of each month, #VoicesAndVisions: The #Podcast is an #Artisttalk series that features #IndigoArts Alliance’s alumni artists in residence, highlighting their similarities, creative #intersections, distinct voices, and their residence experience. Each episode is a conversation between two artists while they were in residence at Indigo Arts Alliance."
