“All Things Bright and Beautiful” by Amy Sherald

PriceFree
February 4 @ 1:00 pm - 1:30 pm

This is a painting of young Black girl. She is standing in the middle of the painting shielding her eyes. The background of the painting is a bright yellow, like a highlighter -perhaps this is the brightness the girl is covering her eyes from. She has long, thin braids that go down past her shoulders. She is wearing a purple sundress with pink hearts, and neon green. blue, and red flowers.

Curious about works of art that aren’t always included on a BMA tour? Take a DeTour with us each Sunday, where we’ll spend 30 minutes focusing on a work of art that is off the beaten path. 

This Sunday, drop by and join BMA Teaching Fellow Jessica Chanel Davis as she facilitates a discussion on Amy Sherald’s All Things Bright and Beautiful featured in the Nappy Roots: A Transatlantic Story of Hair, Struggle, and Liberation exhibition.

Meet Jessica in the Main Lobby on the First Floor at 1:00 pm.
