In “Learning to See,” artist Richard Haynes, who was born in the segregated South, transforms a history of division into a vision of unity and love, celebrating the beauty of togetherness through depictions of everyday moments. Curated by Alison Crites, the exhibition features boldly-colored acrylic paintings, more than 50 black-and-white drawings, the artist’s preparatory sketches for a series based on quilt patterns believed to have conveyed messages along the Underground Railroad, previously unseen images from his “Burning of the Bronx” series, and more. Taken together, Haynes’s drawings, paintings, and photographs assert the artist’s belief that art has the power to shift perceptions, to heal, and to unite.
