Titus Kaphar

Titus Kaphar, All We Know of our Father, mixed media

I hope to squeeze in a trip to the Seattle Art Museum during our upcoming visit to see Titus Kaphar: History in the Making.

The artist paints meticulous copies of 18th and 19th century portraits and then reconfigures them-- cutting and collaging them with mixed media-- to create a dialogue about art, race, and social issues.
