Preston Jackson: Fresh from Julieanne's Garden
Bronze castings and two dimensional images portray majestic heroines of the
southern U.S. from the 17th through the early 20th centuries. Preston Jackson,
Professor of Sculpture and Head of the Figurative Area at the School of the Art
Institute of Chicago, seeks to preserve cultural history and explicate attitudes in
the African American community in this collection. Personal narratives that
accompany the sculptures and portraits are drawn from historical research and
family memoirs. Sponsored by the Multicultural Affairs Office, the Plowshares
Grant, and Harold and Wilma Good Library.
