EDITORS COMMENTS
This print, titled "Drawing, 1885" by Edward Windsor Kemble takes us back to the late 19th century in the deep South. The scene depicts a lively gathering of African American men and women engaged in their daily lives. In this snapshot of history, we see a circle formed by raggedly dressed individuals who are captivated by the rhythmic beats of a drummer. The barefooted spectators watch attentively as they enjoy this momentary escape from their hardships. The artist's attention to detail is evident in his portrayal of each character. Men wearing bandanas and shirtsleeves stand alongside women with headscarves, creating a diverse tapestry that reflects the rich cultural heritage prevalent at that time. Kemble skillfully captures the essence of community spirit through his masterful strokes. This drawing transports us to an exterior setting where life unfolds amidst poverty and struggle but also resilience and unity. As we gaze upon this artwork, we are reminded of the power of art to preserve moments from our past and shed light on forgotten narratives. It serves as a testament to Kemble's talent for capturing not only physical appearances but also emotions embedded within everyday scenes. "Drawing, 1885" invites us to reflect on our shared history while celebrating diversity and strength in adversity—a timeless reminder that resonates even today.
