American artist Kerry James Marshall (b. 1955 Birmingham, Alabama, lives in Chicago) is considered one of the most important contemporary painters. His large-format, multifaceted works consistently focus on Black people. His paintings are imbued with colour, pain, hope and vibrancy. They are powerful images of the life and history of the African American community, and they are full of art-historical and socio-cultural references – from the Civil Rights movement to comic and fantasy culture and personal memories.
An exhibition in cooperation with the Royal Academy, London, and the Musée d’Art Moderne de Paris.
