- Summary:
- "In the spring of 1963, the New York Art Committee for Tougaloo College established Mississippi's first collection of modern art at Tougaloo, a historically Black college located north of Jackson. As civil rights protests swirled across the fiercely segregated state, the College became an unlikely hub of European and New York School modernism and a place that the collection's founders envisioned as 'an interracial oasis in which the fine arts are the focus and magnet.' Co-organized by the American Federation of Arts and Tougaloo College, Art and Activism traces the birth and development of this significant and distinctive collection. With approximately thirty-five artworks by artists such as Francis Picabia, Jacob Lawrence, and Alma Thomas, the exhibition brings renewed attention to a complex American collection established at the intersections of modern art and social justice. Art and Activism is organized into three roughly chronological sections that trace the story of the Tougaloo collection from the New York Art Committee's first gifts through the early 1980s."-- Provided by publisher.
