Reunion Revised

[Johntee]

Black Art. Black Artists. Collective Noun.
Acrilic dances on brown paper,
totemic, recalls the Spirit of
the Carnival, masked,
copper kettled,
sheilded,
penned,
unrest
hounded
contained,
a felt injustice
still festering. History
never just a painted past.
.
The "Spirit of the Carnival" is a painting from 40 years ago, as full of outrage as Goya's "Dark Paintings."
