Reception: Monday, February 24, 5:30–8 PM – Pictured: Maurice Burns, Monk’s Mood (detail, panel B), 2013–14 — Reposted from @geraldpetersgallery Maurice Burns moved to London in 1972 to begin his MFA at @royalcollegeofart. He met R.B. Kitaj and many of the School of London painters—Michael Andrews and David Hockney, among others. Like them, Burns was reckoning with history and exploring new ways of seeing himself. In their pursuit of figurative painting at a time when abstraction and conceptual art reigned, they gave Burns permission to paint the world as he saw it—or wanted to see it. — #MauriceBurns #BlackArtists #BlackArt #GeraldPetersGallery #contemporaryart #abstractart #figurativeart #ArtAndTheCity #africanamericanart #ArtLovers #royalcollegeofart #jazzplayers #music #instruments #jazz #TraScapades #ArtIsAWeapon #BlackGirlArtGeeks🤓 https://www.instagram.com/p/B8yklkngbCX/?igshid=r7ergps142vi
