Freedom, a Fable: A Curious Interpretation of the Wit of a Negress in Troubled Times
Kara Walker, 1997
Kara Walker was born in Stockton, California and raised in Stone Mountain, Georgia. The youngest child of a college professor/painter and a banker, she received her formal art education at the Rhode Island School of Design. Walker gained early fame for her large-scale works of precisely drawn black-paper silhouette dramas caricaturing the lives of slaves and masters in the Antebellum American South. In 1997 at the age of 28, Walker became one of the youngest ever recipients of a MacArthur fellowship. Her work has been exhibited extensively both nationally and internationally at The Museum of Modern Art, the Whitney Museum of American Art, the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art, the Walker Art Center in Minneapolis, and the Museum of Contemporary Art in Chicago, among many others.
For this work, Walker created a pop-up book that combines a narrative written in her own baroque style with her signature silhouette images. 27 pages.
