Robert Colescott (1925- 2009) Painting Drawing Iconic African American Artist
Original artwork by Robert H. Seems to be done in ink wash on paper but also could be some. Graphite/Charcoal as I not certain what exact medium he used to create this. A fine one of a kind addition to any collection. Subject matter is satire of a Gondolier!
Robert Colescotts massive paintings evoke powerful emotions and thoughtful contemplation. For the past thirty years, Colescott has engaged themes of race, gender, and social inequality. His art is both highly charged and also intrinsically beautiful. In 1997, Colescott was the first African American painter to have a solo exhibit at the Venice Biennale in Italy. His work is in the permanent collections of many museums, including the Museum of Modern Art, the Metropolitan Museum, the Seattle Art Museum, the Studio Museum in Harlem, and the Oakland Museum. THIS MAY BE BY HIS BROTHER WARRINGTON COLESCOTT AFTER FURTHER REVIEW. I acquired it near Seattle in an Estate Sale/Aucton as Robert but it could be Warrington. EITHER WAY it is an original and NOT lithograph or numbered serigraph so do not miss out on this original piece. To view my full range of products!
