Black Power! Tate’s Latest Right On Exhibition Explores African American Art

Black Power! Tate’s Latest Right On Exhibition Explores African American Art

by News Desk | Jul 13, 2017 | Reviews

A challenging and intelligent new show at Tate Modern asks rather more questions than it actually succeeds in answering. It is, nevertheless, something of a landmark event. As somebody of Caribbean origin (going back to the year 1635) but of white ancestry (yes, I had...

Chris Ofili’s big tapestry, commissioned by the Clothworkers’ Company and now on view at the Sunley Room at the National Gallery, doesn’t seem to have attracted nearly as much attention as it should have done. It’s a pretty spectacular object, and in addition to...

G.F. WATTS – Not Quite Michelangelo By Edward Lucie-Smith

by News Desk | Jul 6, 2017 | Reviews
