Shouldn’t people want white artists to address racism that has been stifled go so long? #arth287

The image of Emmett Till is like a horrific car crash, you know the horror of what is going on but you can’t seem to look away. I think the mother made the right decision displaying Emmett in an open casket to show the injustices of race during the 1950’s #arth287

@michaelmeeksart I completely agree

Wilson’s talk of African American hair reminds me of the the artwork “Slow Down Freight Train” whereby the artist decided to add texture to the subjects hair, making it more noticeably a black man #arth287

Community art brings a society together and is a strong foundation for expressing ones culture #arth287

@sarahkreitz Luckily we have social media to push out the stories that aren’t covered by the main stream #arth287

@KevynRobinson History narratives alway change depending on who’s perspective it’s coming from #arth287

It’s hard to fathom that people could commit such heinous crimes and get away because of their skin color. It’s equally hard to believe that victims were chosen solely off the color of their skin. #arth287

“There was no such thing as black art. There were Negro artistists. There were artists who were Negro, put it that way... To me the only true black art is African Art.” Do you agree? #Arth287

@ryleyalana Possibly to allow the viewer to envision themselves in the painting and feel what it’s like to stare death in face #arth287

@naturalqnrach I think it represents isolation both in the life of an African American and in death

[Ray Winner @RayWinner3]

@kvrin_ I believe it is as you can see the loop at the end of it

What do you think the black man did to deserve such a spiteful punishment. They have crowds cheering for his execution, a noose around his neck, and even a shotgun pointed at him. #arth287

@WilbanksThorn Could be symbolizing her reconnection to her husband #arth287

[Ray Winner @RayWinner3]

Why is the figure looking up? It looks like the artist chose to add texture to the hair, why is this the only place? #ARTH287

@AlyssaSutton21 That’s the beauty of art, people can interpret however they like

[Ray Winner @RayWinner3]

If you look closely, you can see that the same 6 colors were used for everyone standing at the rail station; red, blue, green, yellow, black, and white. The shade of the color is also he same. I wonder why Lawrence chose to do this #arth287

[Ray Winner @RayWinner3]

@Jillian_Gierman What did the color wheel consist of?

[Ray Winner @RayWinner3]

@trezise_zeke Do you think who you are or what you look like matters when consider artwork?

[Ray Winner @RayWinner3]

Can you tell someone’s race through their artwork? #ARTH287
