“Love is solidarity in active commitment. Love is a dynamic value. So, artists have an obligation, in this trance of love, to express their real, palpable relations with the life and culture of their people.” When Nascimento started painting in 1968, at the age of 54, it offered him yet another way of expressing the histories, political concerns, and ways of knowing of African peoples living in South American and other diasporas. He described his life-long work as a commitment to love. How do you feel love is being expressed in Nascimento’s paintings? 💛 – Images: Peter Tijhuis @sedjehemon @imranmirartist @ipeafro @sonsbeek20_24 #stedelijkmuseum #amsterdam #contemporaryart ​#design #contemporaryartist​ #modernartist #modernartmuseum #contemporaryartmuseum #designmuseum #sonsbeek #abstractingparables #sedjehemon #stedelijk
