Watch Colored Frames, an online film about African American art

[Ananda Kiamsha Madelyn Leeke]

Check out Colored Frames (www.coloredframes.com), an incredible online documentary film about African American art by Lerone D. Wilson. Click here to watch the documentary: http://www.boondogglefilms.com/movies/coloredframes.php. It is 56 minutes.

Here is a description from the filmmaker's web site:

"A look back at the last fifty years in African American art, Colored Frames is an unflinching documentary exploration of influences, inspirations and experiences of black artists. Beginning at the height of the Civil Rights Era and leading up to the present, it is a naked and truthful look and exhibition at often ignored artists and their progenies."

Two of my favorite artists Adger Cowans (AFRICOBRA artist - http://www.burgessfinearts.com/Cowans.htm) and Wangechi Mutu (Kenyan female artist - http://www.momentaart.org/pas_pro/mutu.html and http://www.sfmoma.org/exhibitions/216) are featured.
