Artist Mickalene Thomas Gives Black Women Their Flowers

  • Summary

  • In Mickalene Thomas' work, Black women are front and center. "We've been supportive characters for far too long," she says. "I would describe my art as radically shifting notions of beauty by claiming space." Her new exhibition of collages, paintings, and photographs is called All About Love. She spoke with Tonya Mosley about how she "draws with scissors," using her mother as a muse, and her reinterpretation of Manet.

    Also, David Bianculli reviews the new documentary Beatles '64.
