Kara Walker’s Singular Multiples

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 02:15:14 GMT

Kara Walker’s art draws its power from her unconventional fusion of vintage Antebellum aesthetics with emotionally and politically charged imagery. In her skillful recreation of the genteel parlor style of scenic cameo silhouettes, she evokes a whimsical, even nostalgic decorative sensibility—only to employ that visual language to convey the profoundly unsettling symbolism that carries recovered histories and their insufficiently addressed legacies. Despite the antiquity of the idiom, the confrontation is very much about the present day. Ultimately, the black-and-white world that Walker conjures is anything but.A newly opened exhibition at the USC Fisher Museum of Art, Kara Walker: Cut to the Quick: Works from the Collections of Jordan D. Schnitzer and His Family Foundation, explores the several decades of Walker’s career, through more than 80 works made between 1994 and 2019. But instead of the attention-grabbing sculptures and architectural installations that have earned Wal...
