A conversation with art collector Juan Rodriguez and gallery owner Garbo Hearne will begin at 5:30 p.m. on Tuesday, Feb. 5. The exhibit activates a narrative between art created in the 19th century by notable artists Robert Scott Duncanson, Edward Mitchell Bannister, Charles Ethan Porter, and Henry Ossawa Tanner with art created by modern and contemporary artists. The exhibition examines how artists influence each other directly and indirectly. During the 2019 spring semester, Dr. Lynne Larsen, assistant professor of art history, will teach an art history seminar course on African-American art focusing on the works in the exhibit. The exhibition was curated by 糖心Vlog传媒 Little Rock Art Gallery Director Brad Cushman. Additional artists with work in the show include Delita Martin, James Phillips, Joyce Scott, Lorna Simpson, Whitfield Lovell, David Driskell, Robert Pruitt, AJ Smith, Alfred Conteh, Deborah Roberts, Herbert Gentry, Aminah Robinson, Bisa Butler, Ron Adams, Bessie Harvey, Benny Andrews, Elizabeth Catlett, Kerry James Michael, Vicki Meek, Zoe Charlton, Sam Gilliam, Henry Tanner, Mikalene Thomas, Phoebe Beasley, Marjorie Williams-Smith, Romare Bearden, Caitlin Cherry, Kara Walker, David Clemons, Amy Sherald, Kehinde Wiley, Justin Bryant, and Reverend George Kornegay.
