- Lot Description
Fabric collage, 1991, signed 'Amos' and dated along the side, signed and dated on the reverse.
11 x 11 in., unframed.
Note: The photographic image in the background of this fabric collage is described by the artist on the reverse as "Off to college at 18 years old, India's friends--Atlanta 1926". Emma Amos was born in Atlanta and her childhood in the South as the granddaughter of two grandfathers who were both born as slaves figures heavily in her work. Trying to connect her experiences with her work, Amos said "I hope that the subjects of my paintings dislodge, question, and tweak prejudices, rules, and notions relating to art and who makes it, poses for it, shows it, and buys it. The work reflects my investigations into the otherness often seen by white male artists, along with the notion of desire, the dark body versus the white body, racism, and my wish to provoke more thoughtful ways of thinking and seeing."
