She gazes directly down on us, at an angle that heightens her confident stance. She has said, ‘I’m interested in giving space to Blackwomen presence. A presence which has been distorted, hidden and denied.’ The masked figures in the background reclaim the often-unacknowledged inspiration of African art on white Western artists. By referring to the masks as ‘African’, Johnson draws attention to art history’s failure to record the names, or even the nationalities of the artists of these influential works. See Claudette Johnson's ‘Standing Figure with African Masks’ on display in the @Courtauld Gallery’s spellbinding show ‘Claudette Johnson: Presence’. Until 14 January 2024.」12月16日 23時50分
