Untitled (Studio) 2014

Kerry James Marshall's "Untitled (Studio)" (2014) depicts a scene from a Black artist's studio, showcasing a model posing for a photograph. Marshall is known for his vibrantly colored, large-scale paintings of Black life in America. In this piece, his signature style is evident through the sharp lines, bold colors, and graphic composition. The painting, currently at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City, invites viewers to consider the artistic process and the representation of Black bodies within contemporary art.
