During this Gallery Gathering, we will take a closer look at Charles Henry Alston’s Untitled (Couple), said to have been inspired by Langston Hughes’ 1925 poem “The Weary Blues.” An original member of the Abstract Expressionist movement, Alston was a painter, muralist, sculptor, illustrator, and educator, as well as the founder of two major African American art collectives, 306 and Spiral. Join us to discuss Untitled (Couple) and to learn more about this trailblazing artist of the Harlem Renaissance.

Please note that this event will not be livestreamed or posted on YouTube.
