Flight Into Egypt (Met)


Wilfrid

Recommended Posts

Influence of Egyptian art, iconography and history, primarily on Black artists over the last 150 years. Not just artists but musicians too so you just know there will be somewhere where space is the place, and indeed very entertaining footage of Sun Ra.

Also funny, Glenn Ligon (below) and a photo by (and of) Ming Smith I hadn’t seen before. I dropped Kara Walker’s study for the big sugar sphinx into the recent thread referring to her.

This is a show to revisit.
