Overview
This was the first major museum exhibition dedicated to Winfred Rembert, a remarkable self-taught artist originally from Georgia who has lived in New Haven, Connecticut for the past thirty years. A mid-career survey, this exhibition emphasized the dramatic, overtly biographical nature of Rembert’s stretched, etched, and stained leather panels. Rembert’s work combines his artistic inspiration with documentation of some of the most tumultuous moments of Civil Rights-era history.
