@softlynoted: Was curious to see what’s at the ⚲ OCMA Raymond Saunders: Flowers from a Black Garden “Throughout his fifty-year career, Raymond Saunders (born 1934, Homestead, Pennsylvania; died 2025, Oakland) combined abstract painting, representational drawing, and found objects into visually abundant compositions that invite scrutiny. Evoking narrative, poetry, history, and cultural specifics, his works unite bits and pieces of the world taken from newspapers and magazines, found on street corners, unearthed at rummage sales, or given to him by others. By creating such depth of collage and layers of meaning, the artist resisted easy answers to the questions of art and life. Autobiography, US history, global events of the day, art historical references, racial stereotypes, and advertisements swirl together, breaking down cultural hierarchies and categorizations.” #thingstodo #orangecounty #museum #junkjournal
