Deborah Grant: Christ You Know it Ain't Easy!!
Deborah Grant culls material from a variety of printed matter, which she masterfully assembles to create highly personal, non-linear narratives that investigate politics, race, and cultural identity. Accompanying Deborah Grant: Christ You Know it Ain’t Easy!!, Grant’s first solo museum show in New York, this publication features works from the installation, which recounts the fictional meeting between African-American folk artist Mary A. Bell and renowned modernist painter Henri Matisse. Rendered through graphic silhouettes, intricate line drawings, and collaged photographic elements, Grant’s fictionalized narrative provides an alternate account of the legacy of modernist painting, one not told in history books.
