Clark Atlanta Art Galleries

Clark Atlanta Exhibition

The art galleries at Clark Atlanta were very interesting. Allowing me to use the lens that I have developed thus far. My favorite part of the tour was the expansive panles along the walls which though physically separated represented the collective nature of history and culture of African art and Black artist.

The "Art of the Negro" murals were painted consist of six canvas panels they specifically images of black Americans' cultural past. Referring to his motive for painting the murals, 

The sixth panel illustrates the "Muses". The tour tells us that these panels symbolize the involuntary marriage of African and European cultures. This image directly realtes to the model about incorporation of different cultures. Visually the audience can see how the forceful nature of incorporation.
