In Memoriam: David C. Driskell June 7, 1931–April 1, 2020

“The artist has the dual responsibility of creating a new vision of the world by inventing and expanding upon what we see and by creating beauty as a desirable quality of life. The artist should be able to make us aware of the good life by asking for social justice for all.”

–David C. Driskell, in an interview with Pat Davidson Reef (David C. Driskell: Artist, Educator, Author)
