Instagram post 2243148766273379559_234118632 Willie Robert Middlebrook, Jr. was a photographer who did more with the photographic process than merely shoot and develop film. He often used a photographic printing technique wherein he painted photographic emulsion, in a dripping fashion, on surfaces, and then exposed the photosensitive material to make a print, sometimes layering this process on the same surface.⁠⠀ ⁠⠀ 'POMP #329 In the Shadow of the Cross' replaces the figure of Jesus on the cross with a nude black female. In this work, Middlebrook allows the viewer to question who religion is for, and how identity affect our beliefs, traditions, and our own sense of community.⁠⠀ ⁠⠀ Middlebrook sadly passed away in 2012 at age 55. His work has been collected by museums such as the @artinstitutechi, @studiomuseum and @lacma (and here at the Fisher). But you do not need to visit these museums to see his art. Both the Expo/Crenshaw Station and the Avalon Station on the Green Line feature works by Middlebrook. ⁠⠀ .⁠⠀ As part of #blackhistorymonth, we are featuring art by African- American artists in our permanent collection as well as those who have exhibited here at the Fisher.⁠⠀ ⁠⠀ #uscfishermuseum #fishermuseumofart #LAartist #photographer #williemiddlebrookjr #photographicprinting #blackartist #LAmetro #publicart⁠⠀ ⁠⠀ credit: Willie Robert Middlebrook, Jr, 'POMP #329 In the Shadow of the Cross,' 1992, Purchase Fund, © Willie Robert Middlebrook, Jr.
