Nari Ward: Sun Splashed

June 24 - August 22, 2016 - Live and Life Will Give You Pictures: Masterworks of French Photography, 1895 – 1945.   Animated by flânerie—the idle, detached observation of street life that 19th-century writers and artists associated with the rise of modern cities, and making reference to African tribal art, Ward’s oeuvre resonates with the Barnes collection and speaks with penetrating insight and imagination to a broad range of subjects, including black history and culture, the dynamics of power and politics, and Caribbean diaspora identity.
