Kerry James Marshall's mixed media works address the perspectives of
African Americans through references to popular culture, history, and
the civil rights movement. His work draws inspiration from art-
historical sources from the Renaissance to black folk art. Born in
Birmingham, Alabama, Marshall has a BFA and an honorary Doctorate
from the Otis Art Institute, Los Angeles. He has exhibited in the
United States, and at international exhibitions such as Documenta X.
In 1997 Marshall was awarded a MacArthur Foundation grant.
