Description
Location:
National Museum of Women in the Arts
1250 New York Avenue, N.W.
Washington, DC 20005-3970
Note:
MR DIAL HAS SOMETHING TO SAY (Celia Carey, 2007, 57 min.) is a highly
provocative and expertly crafted documentary that explores the topic of
racism and classism in the elite world of the American visual arts. It
focuses on the experiences of Thornton Dial, a 79 year old “self-taught”
artist from Alabama, and featuring prominently the women from Gee’s Bend.
Artists and leading art critics, curators and cultural theorists explore
these important and poignant issues. Has African-American improvisational
visual art been disregarded by the mainstream art world as less important?
Have terms such as “outsider,” “visionary,” “primitive,” “folk,”
“self-taught,” and “naïve”—all of which have been applied to this particular
style—downgraded the importance of this art? Admission for this program is
FREE.
