There is a Kerry James Marshall show until September 25th at the Museum of Contemporary Art, it features several of his paintings.
I saw the above painting about 20 years ago at the Museum of Contemporary Art. I loved it immediately.
The show features the video below where the artist explains his process. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K2bmHE7MRQU
Now I'm even more of a fan after hearing him talk about his art. This artist should be known by everyone in my opinion, and he lives in Chicago.
