"Fresh
Faces"
Wadsworth Atheneum Museum of Art, Hartford, CT
Youth figure
prominently in works by many 20th-century and contemporary African
American artists. Augusta Savage, Laura Wheeling Waring, Hughie
Lee-Smith, Alan Crite, Charles White, Coreen Simpson, and Dawoud
Bey have portrayed children and teenagers with empathy, dignity,
and wonderment. The shifting status and role of youth in American
society and popular culture will be revealed in painting, sculpture,
photography, and prints and drawings from the collections of The
Amistad Foundation, the Wadsworth Atheneum, and private and public
holdings. Presented by The Amistad Foundation. This exhibition is
supported by proceeds from The Amistad Foundation's An Evening to
Remember and annual Juneteenth Celebration benefit galas.
