It was so wonderful to see the pieces that the Kelly's had acquired. To actually see the works of Jacob, Catlett, Biggers and other African -Americans was a thrill. We loved the exhibit so very much. We are so thankful to the Kelly's for sharing their art and the museum for putting such a great exhibit together. It's a great Museum.

The tempera colours are well done. Jacob Lawrence's work: might we call it a very populist form of constructionism? The tempera colours are well done.

I live in the Dallas/Fort Worth area and will plan to attend this event. In fact, I am going to put this on the agenda for our Arts Leadership Council at American Airlines as an event to attend. I have a small collection but have always wanted a Biggers after seeing his exhibit at the Dallas Museum of Art, but someone talked me out of it. Cannot wait to see your pieces. I thought this story (after reading the headlines) was going to be about the Pierces (my friend, Wynette, introduced me to them many years ago). Thanks for saving this artwork.

Would like to find out who painted this mural. As I recall it depicted scenes from the African American historical experience.

I wonder what local notable African-American Artists are in their collection. I enjoyed this story and the art pictured. I wonder what local notable African-American Artists are in their collection.
