OPENING SATURDAY JUNE 3RD | 6-8PM
Rosalind Letcher was one of the key members of a vibrant group of Black artists called the Eastville Artists Association based in Sag Harbor—a community drawn together by their social ties rather than an aesthetic program. “Africa, the Orient, European Expressionism, Cubism blend here — yet above all, American individualism is foremost.” The curator of Eastville Artists Association exhibition at Guild Hall in 1979 made this astute proclamation in her introduction to a groundbreaking show of Letcher and her peers' work. Since receiving her professional artistic training at NYU and City College, Letcher forged a singular approach to figurative painting that draws upon her childhood memories.
This exhibition at Keyes Art will be her first public exhibition in 20 years that will foreground her recently rediscovered oeuvre.
Exhibition Dates: June 3rd - June 30th, 2023
