Untitled 2012

Kerry James Marshall's "Untitled" (2012) depicts a Black man lying in bed, holding a flag in the red, black, and green colors of the Pan-African flag. The work, created in a photorealistic style, explores themes of Black identity, power, and representation. The figure's relaxed posture and the inclusion of the Pan-African flag suggest a sense of comfort and pride. Marshall's work is known for its bold colors, dynamic compositions, and focus on the experiences of Black people, challenging dominant narratives and raising awareness about their contributions to history and culture.
