Amy Sherald: American Sublime —The Quiet Power of the Grayscale Gaze

Oil painting titled "A Midsummer Afternoon Dream" (2021) by Amy Sherald. A Black woman with grayscale skin leans against a bicycle. She wears a vibrant blue dress, a straw hat, and white sneakers. The bicycle's basket is filled with colorful flowers, set against a white fence with cascading sunflowers. Part of the Amy Sherald: American Sublime collection.

From the Obama portrait to new triptychs, Amy Sherald: American Sublime offers a structural assessment of an artist refusing the spectacle of trauma.
