“Between Play and Grief: Selections from the Latino American Collection features a survey of works from the MFAH collection of modern and contemporary Latin American art.
”The exhibition “spans six decades of artistic expression, from figures who were actively in dialogue with leading postwar artistic movements such as Nouveau Réalisme, Arte Povera, and Pop Art in the 1960s, to contemporary artists whose work speaks to their identities as both insiders and outsiders within an American experience.”

The Whitney Museum of American Art’s lively exhibition, Spilling Over: Painting Color in the 1960s, “…gathers paintings from the 1960s and early 1970s that inventively use bold, saturated, and even hallucinatory color to activate perception… At the same historical moment, an emerging generation of artists of color and women explored color’s capacity to articulate new questions about perception, specifically its relation to race, gender, and the coding of space. The exhibition looks to the divergent ways color can be equally a formal problem and a political statement.”

“Barnes created some
of the twentieth century’s most iconic images of African American life. Known
for his unique “neo-mannerist” approach of presenting figures through elongated
forms, he captured his observations of life growing up in North Carolina,
playing professional football in the NFL (1960–1964), and living in Los
Angeles.“
“For many fans of
1970s American television, Ernie Barnes’ (1938–2009) painting The Sugar
Shack is no doubt instantly familiar. The 1976 work depicting a dance
scene—which was the cover art for Marvin Gaye’s album I Want You—achieved
cult status…”
