The work by an African-American artist that I would like in my home or workplace is the Patchwork Quilt by Romare Bearden of 1970.
What is interesting about the art is how the artist depicts the picture of a woman walking, but it is not easy to discern the precise skin color of the woman because the artists uses black color for the entire body except for one hand that is painted brown.
The woman is wearing a pink belt and a pink head scuff, and the face seems to be covered. The woman is neatly dressed with a dress that reaches the knee-length, thus, it is suitable for viewership by anyone.
The face of the woman is covered, perhaps to depict the shame and agony that that African Americans had faced in the South cotton plantations where they were subjected to forced labor and humiliation. African Americans were subjected to humiliation as they worked as slaves and their masters were cruel on them.
