- Tradition Redefined: The Larry and Brenda Thompson Collection of African American Art
April 23 -August 29, 2010
This extraordinary private collection presents 72 works by African American artists that document the many expressions of the African Diaspora. The strength of the Thompson’s collecting process is their attention to artists who have typically not been recognized in the traditional narratives of African American art. In addition to the acknowledged “masters” with artists such as Ratcliffe Bailey, Romare Bearden, David Driskell, and Mildred Thompson, the Thompsons have collected works by artists who have been labeled “emerging,” “unknown,” “outsider,” “eccentric,” “vernacular,” “regional” and more. The result is a collection that redefines the landscape of American art, offering a more in-depth, inclusive understanding of African American artists and their aesthetic and social concerns.
