Check out my latest profile on Betye Saar. Thank you Betye for your incredible contributions to culture and your timeless words. What a dream! ✨ Read it on Artsy now! #art #culture #fortheculture ▪️ “Betye Saar is living, breathing history. At 95 years old, she is an artist that has lived through and made work in the era of Jim Crow, the Civil Rights Movement, the assassinations of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. and Malcolm X, the Black Arts Movement, the Vietnam War, and the Trump presidency. Saar’s phenomenal mixed-media assemblages bring together Black memorabilia, African sculptures, and a collage of found items in wildly imaginative arrangements that tackle issues of racism, sexism, and social injustice. She has seen, lived, and created for longer than some of the world’s most famous artists have been alive. And at long last, she is finally getting the widespread, canonical recognition she deserves.” - Folasade Ologundudu
