‘Witness: Art and Civil Rights in the Sixties,’ at the Brooklyn Museum - NYTimes.com: "The rhythm of the show is like this. It shifts between the topical and the symbolic, factuality and abstraction, the same way its soundtrack alternates protest chants, pop songs and hymns. Richard Avedon’s 1963 photograph of a defiantly segregationist George Wallace hangs within sight of Charles W. White’s idealized 1961 charcoal drawing of a young black woman reading. Edward Kienholz’s funky, newsy 1961 assemblage “It Takes Two to Integrate (Cha Cha Cha),” with its black and white “Freedom Rider” dolls stamped with tread marks, contrasts with Malcolm Bailey’s suavely diagrammatic Art Deco-ish painting of biracial captives on a slave ship."
...ero.
