Artist Spotlight: David Driskell and Edward Middleton Manigault

Focusing intently on small groups of works, the artist spotlight series features engaging profiles of artists held in the Gibbes permanent collection. The rotating series launched in April continues in August with two new spotlight explorations. One focuses on renowned American artist and art historian David Driskell whose painting and printmaking practice was influenced by nature, abstraction, and African imagery. The other spotlight features early modernist Edward Middleton Manigault whose fanciful paintings were well respected during his short lifetime and included in major modernist exhibitions like the 1913 Armory Show
