Kerry James Marshall, painter
Timed to coincide with the museum’s exhibition of selections from Jacob Lawrence’s Migration Series, Mr. Marshall will speak about his own work, which is a contemporary interpretation of the African-American experience. Marshall is best known for his monumental figurative paintings, whose subjects stem from social history, the civil rights movement, and his own experiences as an African American.
