“Art is the only way to run away without leaving home” ~ Twyla Tharp
Nature is not only all that is visible to the eye… it also includes the inner pictures of the soul. — Edvard Munch ( Virtual Art Academy )
A few days ago, I visited the Contemporary Museum of Los Angeles (MOCA) and saw and enjoyed Henry Taylor Side B show. The exhibition was a retrospective of Henry Taylor’s work—primarily portraits. The work, The Screaming Head , 1999, stopped me. Similar to Edvard Munch’s work The Scream, where I felt fear, panic, and anxiety down in my soul. Taylor’s screaming head, I got the absolute frustration and angst the artist must have experienced as a black man.
