Our Children '1960' 2020

Jammie Holmes's "Our Children '1960" (2020) is a contemporary painting that depicts a young Black girl sitting in a chair, holding a younger, white girl on her lap. The scene is set in a domestic interior, with the girls' clothing and the inscription "25¢" on the wall suggesting that the scene is from the early 20th century. The painting explores themes of race, class, and childhood, and is characteristic of Holmes's style which combines figurative and abstract elements.
