ブルックリン美術館さんのインスタグラム写真 - (ブルックリン美術館Instagram)「Wadsworth A. Jarrell's Revolutionary (Angela Davis) (1971) depicts the radical activist and revolutionary intellectual, Angela Davis, who, when this was painted, was fighting for her freedom from wrongful imprisonment. The portrait illustrates the intensity and power of Davis’ activism as Wadsworth Jarrell utilizes her words, slogans from the Black Power movement, and AfriCOBRA's signature aesthetic––self-described as "Kool-Aid colors." The year 1971 was significant for both Jarell and Davis. As Jarrell completed this vibrant artwork, Angela Davis wrote her truth-uncovering piece, "Reflections on the Black Woman's Role in the Community of Slaves." In this piece, Davis “illuminates the historical matrix of Black women's oppression" as enslaved Black Women were expected "to promote the consciousness and practice of resistance" while also "ministering to the needs of [all] men and children around her." Jarrell’s portrait serves as an example of how art can be used to acknowledge and celebrate the often overlooked social and political contributions of Black women. Fifty years later, Angela Yvonne Davis continues to be a leader in the fight for global intersectional justice. #ReflectionsonAction⁠⠀ ⁠⠀ Image: Wadsworth A. Jarrell (American, born 1929).
