On view February 17 – May 12, 2024

Darrel Ellis developed a distinct studio practice that merged the formal vocabularies of drawing, photography, painting, and printmaking to redefine Black male identity and family within the constructs of art history and mainstream culture.
Through the lenses of interior scenes and material culture, “Interior Lives” explores the ways everyday Americans lived, worked, played, and evolved their identities in the first half of the 20th century.
