Event Description:
Acclaimed American artist Minnie Evans (1892-1987) once described her drawings, filled with human, botanical, and animal forms, as coming from "the lost world," referring to "the nations destroyed before the Flood." After her grandmother died in 1934 and the visions she had been experiencing since childhood became stronger, Evans went on to produce a large and celebrated body of work and in 1975 became one of the first Black artists to have a solo exhibition at the Whitney Museum of American Art. Though she was lauded in her lifetime, she has not been the subject of a major exhibition since the 1990s.
