Spotlighting our newly acquired work "The Blues" (2017) by artist Carrie Mae Weems (). Purchased through the PAMM Fund for Black Art, the work was recently unveiled at our Art + Soul celebration.⁣

Carrie Mae Weems is widely renowned as one of the most influential contemporary American artists living today. In "The Blues" (2017), Weems uses the color blue as a way to imbue her figures with iconic, saint-like qualities while referencing the color’s many connotations—melancholy, despair, the musical genre of the Blues, coolness, and heaven. Featuring the acclaimed musician and actor Mary J. Blige, "The Blues" was made in light of her Oscar-nominated performance in the film Mudbound, where she portrayed a mother coping with poverty and racism after World War II. ⁣
