Gee's Bend: the Architecture of the Quilt
Friday June 22, 2007
Walters Art Museum
600 N Charles St
Baltimore, Maryland 21201 Get Directions
This exhibition, organized by the Museum of Fine Arts, Houston, features approximately 70 quilts made by several generations of African American women from the small farming community of Gee's Bend, Alabama. The exhibition focuses on the abstract imagery of these beautiful quilts and their relationship to African American vernacular architecture. Made between the 1930s and the present, the Gee's Bend quilts feature bright patterns, inventive color combinations, lively irregularities and unexpected compositional variations that make them outstanding examples of modern art. The quilts in the exhibition are drawn from the collection of Tinwood Alliance, a nonprofit foundation for the support of African American vernacular art.
