Kerry James Marshall Exhibit

A few months ago, I went to check out the Kerry James Marshall Exhibit at the MET and didn’t have the chance to post the pictures of his paintings to this blog. Well, here they finally are.

The exhibition really opened my eyes to how great an artist Marshall is. A lot of the paintings I never saw before and I also saw his comic that I didn’t have the chance to take a photo of.
