Black Power Pendant - Civil Rights Movement

Creator: Vincent D. Smith
Offered by: Robert Funk Fine Art

Description
For those who remember the late 1960s, viewing this painting is as much a work of art as it is a historical document of a transitional moment in American History. At the time, a Black Power pendant was a new and revolutionary concept. The central black male subject holds the pendant as a precious object and proudly displays it to the viewer. The work serves as a time capsule of Black Identity and the racial pride that characterized the Civil Rights Movement. The work's graphic style emphasises this point. Signed lower right, Vincent. The Artist's inscribed label on verso reads. Vincent D. Smith, Title - Black Power. Med - Pen - Watercolor, Size 9 1/2 x 7/14 1969. Framed under glass to 15.85 x 13
