We were delighted to see a piece on longtime Detroit artist of influence Charles McGee this week in HuffPost Detroit. We have admired McGee for years, love his sculptural piece on John R at Farnsworth (go see it!) and last ran into him at Avalon late last year.
Here's an excerpt:
McGee paved the way for black artists in Detroit. His figurative paintings and abstract sculptures pop up all over the city, where he has lived since 1934. His active life in the region's art scene has included teaching, board involvement and winning the
Kresge Eminent Artist award in 2008.
