Bedou, John Biggers with Maya Angelou, Elizabeth Catlett, Clementine Hunter, Malvin Gray Johnson, and Jacob Lawrence Curated by Kendyll Gross, Assistant Curator at Newcomb About the Exhibition Victory Workers includes historical documents and ephemera from the special collections of Xavier University of Louisiana and Tulane University. Archival material situates the work of laborers and artists within the city of New Orleans and reveal the relationships between the people and institutions. Photography, catalogues, scrapbooks, and other print materials make visible the unseen labor of African Americans through the widespread circulation. Local artist Arthur Bedou recorded the activities of influential political figures such as Booker T. Washington and was also a household name for those in New Orleans who wanted their portraits taken. He worked with numerous institutions within the city, including Xavier University of Louisiana, to record craftsmen hard at work, students celebrating their achievements and more. Additionally, these documents emphasize the labor of artists themselves, who often served as educators and collaborators within their respective communities. Special thanks to our lenders from the Amistad Research Center, Xavier University of Louisiana, Stella Jones, and Tulane University Special Collections. |

William Edmondson: A Monumental Vision January 18 – June 1, 2024 Legacy Traces: Recent Additions to the Museum Collection marks the campus debut of twenty-one works and considers how the museum’s acquisition practices have evolved in step with the institution’s growth and global trends in art. Victory Workers foregrounds representations of African American labor by artists of the twentieth century to reveal the contributions of under-recognized workers who serve within and beyond their respective communities. The traveling exhibition William Edmondson: A Monumental Vision offers an opportunity to engage the work of the renowned, twentieth century visionary artist and folk sculptor with an emphasis on the complex relationship between Black cultural production and American museums. |
