Artist Kerry James Marshall, who was featured in Season One of the PBS series "Art:21--Art in the 21st Century," will discuss his work at 6 p.m. Thursday, March 4, in 210 McKnight Art Center West (WSU School of Art and Design). Admission is free. A nationally renowned painter, installation artist and filmmaker, Marshall reflects and continues the tradition of moral conscience of Gordon Parks and other leading African American visual artists.
Marshall creates large-scale paintings that explore African American culture from the Civil Rights to today, drawing from and weaving a history of black experience into his narratives. Museum galleries will remain open from 5-6 p.m. so attendees can view "Crossroads: The Art of Gordon Parks."
