Julie Mehretu – Sing, Unburied, Sing (J.W.) (2018)

Posted on March 5, 2020 by amazzaschi in Cover Art No Comments

  Artist Statement The past five years have seen a significant shift in the development of Julie Mehretu’s paintings; in place of meticulous architectural renderings, the starting point for the most recent series of works is the immediacy and urgency of photojournalism.
