🎥Caption, video and image reposted from @yanceyrichardsongallery - "In our current exhibition je t’adore, multidisciplinary artist Mickalene Thomas presents 13 new large-scale mixed media photo collages inspired by her research into the imagery of #Blackfemaleerotica featured in the calendars of #Jetmagazine and the pages of the 1950s French publication, Nus Exotique.

Watch Thomas discuss her thought process behind this new body of work.
