“Generations” is a collection of African-American art from the Virginia Museum of Fine Arts. Featuring works by celebrated African-American artists including Romare Bearden, Alison Saar, Jacob Lawrence and Faith Ringgold, this exhibition includes painting, drawing, prints, sculpture and photography.
During the 1950s, when Virginia was still one of sixteen racially segregated states, select few African-American artists were included in the VMFA fellowship program and Virginia Artist biennial exhibitions. The majority of the VMFA’s collection of works by African-Americans were acquired before the 1980s and entered the collection through these programs.
