Wow. Just wow.
Inspiring art❤
Makes my day ….. thank you 🤩
This is amazing! Thank you!!!
Everything is data
Amazing! The shawl, and Harriet Tubman.
Wow. ❤
Carrie Mae was my DivIII advisor at Hampshire College in 1989. It was an honor to work with her. We lost contact so it is exciting to see this!
Beautiful and innovative
Amazing artist! Equally amazing that he's done this for so long without safety glasses and isn't blind! So sad he's no longer creating his magic sculptures due to his untimely auto accident.
That sculpture, “Rouse,” is phenomenal. Thanks so much for posting. (P.S. As a non-professional artist, I really appreciated hearing Ms. Saar discuss her evolving ideas about the identify of the figure held aloft in the woman’s antlers. Sometimes when I’m working on a piece I think it is about one thing, but then afterwards I realize it’s about something very different. I’ve assumed that’s because I’m new at art and unsure of myself. But maybe even established artists don’t always know at the outset.) (P.P.S. The entire Saar family is incredible. We are so lucky to have their body of work to look at.)
Excellent! Everyone needs to see this. Thank you, SAAM!
Such wisdom. Inspiring.
beautiful photo frame what style? what is the name?

Nam June paiks cable management 🤌

Tyler Shine, you did a fabulous presentation and brought the chapter to us. "There is no end to out Ecological Art and Black Geography" - Alma Thomas. Will your work be turned into a book? I would love to read the complete dissertation.

Wonderful and inspiring -- thank you for this video.
more-more-more
Nice video!
Who was the frames craftsperson? Does anyone know? Does anyone care?
I hope to go see it. This man created something remarkable. Thank you for the video.
I really wouldn't just call him an artist, he's an profit. In the few instances of him sharing his work, he did so as a profit. He was getting messages from angels who told him to create his work, he wrote an entirely new section of the Bible, he may have even created his own language. He believed in the idea that God is giving his plans for humanity slowly over time via different profits, this is called dispensationism, hense the name of the throne and it's almost certain Hampton believed he was this new eras profit, akin to Moses. He even went to churches and tried to convince them to include his texts and parts of the throne in their service but was denied. He wasn't an artist. He was profit. And that part of the story is integral to understanding his work
Thank you! I have a beautiful gilded antique frame (&painting) that has started to come apart. I don’t want a new frame. I want to conserve the one originally on the painting.
This was great! I have been a fan of his work for years. I had the honor of meeting him when I was about 10 years old. My father was an art dealer and was picking up some prints from him in Sacramento. He was kind and warm to me. I will always hold the memory close.
That was wonderful! Great job
He has amazing speaking skills, I can't help but observe how well his words flow...
I saw this clip on a stand at the National Portrait Gallery during the women's festival this weekend... *but Where is the Shawl?* we would love to see the actual shawl itself! is it on display anywhere the public can see it?
Excellent work Ms. Mary Elliott! The shawl is truly an American treasure. Thank you.
Beautiful gift
Wow!
I opened this video just for the introduction speech by Nora
It is really educative and inspiring lecture indeed. Great work sir !
Excellent video of this exhibition!
Very cool!
Excellent.
RIP Sweet Heart ♥️
If you don't have a degree from an art school, you're just a craft artist. That's what I've always been told.
👏
Cars are still photographed the same way till this day. Cause of Mr. Penn. The first real check I bought was Penn's PASSAGE. Cusco children is one of my favorite prints of all time.
👏👏👏👏👏
incredible
I'm absorbed by her as a person as well as her art. Her calm demeanor and simple, yet profound philosophical thoughts make as much of an impact as her colors and paints.
