Drawing on the artistâs paintings and eloquent writings; recently unearthed taped interviews; unpublished paintings and sketches; and her own interviews, research, and firsthand analysis, Amy M. Mooney examines Motleyâs work from the 1920s through the 1940s and discusses his significant contributions to the American art scene. Color images reveal the breadth of Motleyâs subject matter, from early portraiture to café society to genre scenes.
For many years artists have depicted the Negro as the ignorant southern "darky," to be portrayed on canvas as something humorous; . . . In my paintings I have tried to paint the Negro as I have seen him and as I feel him, in myself without adding or detracting, just being frankly honest. âArchibald J. Motley Jr.
