Man in Blue Suit

@ Smithsonian American Art Museum

Description

George Williams created sculptures inspired by his African American heritage, and many of his figures are black. In these pieces, however, the men are painted with bright white enamel. Their identical drab suits, hairstyles, and expressions suggest that Williams saw no individuality in the white-collar world of business.
