DVD Reviews of Colored Frames (2 Disc Set)

DVD Review: very essential and insightful
Summary: 5 Stars

I saw this film at a screening at Bard College and it was absolutely amazing. The film is just so very crucial in understanding the landscape of contemporary and historical african american art. The film is very compelling and offers insightful glances into the little know, nor understood, world of professional black art. There was also a question and answer session afterwards with the brilliant filmmakers who were very knowledgeable in offering answers to all question. very much recommended.

DVD Review: Discovering gems in the artworld
Summary: 5 Stars

I saw this wonderful film at a screening at NYU where filmmaker, artists and musician were present, along with a discussion afterwards. The film-maker tracked down African American Artists to interview them about their artwork--what motivates them, their challenges, etc. The musical accompaniment works wonderfully well with the interviews and artwork. This film should be shown on public TV, museums, film festivals and schools to inspire youth in their creativity.

Description of Colored Frames (2 Disc Set)

A look back at the last fifty years in African American art, Colored Frames is an unflinching exploration of influences, inspirations and experiences of Black artists. Beginning at the height of the Civil Rights Era and leading up to the present, it is a naked and truthful look at often ignored artists and their progenies.

By sorting through these various strands of African American art inspiration, this film puts forth a complex and therefore interesting view of "Black Art", moving past generic Afrocentric images to more detailed schools of work in the genres of illustration, abstraction, and surrealism, among others.

Colored Frames is an open and honest discussion of where African-American art has been, where it fits in the larger current landscape, and a look into its future.
