John Wilson’s lifelong commitment to highlighting issues of Black dignity and racial justice resonates powerfully today.
Take a private tour of some of the artist’s most striking works born from this commitment in the MFA’s retrospective dedicated to Wilson, “Witnessing Humanity: The Art of John Wilson,” and see art by his contemporaries, such as Elizabeth Catlett and Charles White, in the Morse Study Room for Works on Paper.
Co-organized with Curators Circles: Prints and Drawings and Black Arts and Artists.
This program is scheduled to be an in-person event, however details may be subject to change.
