America’s Family and America’s Family II
In 2016, Sedrick Huckaby worked on two series of lithographs published by Thomas French Fine Art and Valley House Gallery and Sculpture Garden entitled America’s Family and America's Family II. The series of lithographs include portraits of the artist’s family—America’s Dad, Mom, Son, Daughter and Child. This publication marks the artist’s first experience with the classic lithographic process utilizing 19th century lithography stones and learning the old world tradition of stone lithography from the master printer James Reed, owner of Milestone Graphics. Reed was a Ford Foundation Fellow at Tamarind in 1973-1975. He worked closely with Huckaby and printed the editions. A video on the legacy of stone lithography is being created by American View Productions (Dan Makara, Executive Producer & Frank Borres, Director), including a segment of Huckaby creating these lithographs with Reed at Milestone Graphics.
Born in Fort Worth, Texas in 1975, Huckaby has been creating art since his childhood. In 1995, he began his formal art studies at Texas Wesleyan University in his hometown. After a brief stay he transferred to Boston University, where he received a BFA degree. He then earned a MFA degree from Yale University in New Haven, CT.
Huckaby is known for his draftsmanship and powerful use of color. His exploration of cultural roles and the heritage of the African American family are well documented. His work initially evolved from portraiture to objects and interiors that venerate his personal family legacy rooted in Fort Worth, TX. Portraying these familiar subjects on a large scale and pushing his use of materials, Huckaby defines the significance of family and tradition while touching on the importance of community in our culture. America’s Family represents a continuation of this exploration of these themes.
For the past few years Huckaby has concentrated his efforts on a series of quilt paintings. One of the series he created is a tribute to both of his Grandmothers and a celebration of the African American quilting tradition. Inspired by John Coltrane’s A Love Supreme, Sedrick used actual quilts sewn by family members as models for this 80’ long painting of the four seasons. Metaphorically, these quilts document significant events in his family history. The expressive prints in America’s Family pay homage to the rich use of thick impasto paint which he uses to create these large quilt murals and portraits.
Huckaby has received the 2001 Louis Comfort Tiffany Award, the 2004 Joan Mitchell Foundation Painters and Sculptors Grant Program Award, and was the 2008 recipient of the prestigious Guggenheim Fellowship Award, which allowed him to finish his monumental A Love Supreme. In 2016, he was one of the winners of the Outwin Boochever Portrait Competition at The National Portrait Gallery, Smithsonian Institution, Washington D. C.
His work is in the collections of the Whitney Museum of American Art, the Museum of Fine Arts Boston, the Amon Carter Museum of American Art, the Art Institute of Chicago, the Minneapolis Institute of Arts and The Nelson-Atkins Museum of Art. Recently, Huckaby’s 18-by-14-foot oil painting Hidden in Plain Site (2011) was on view in the Amon Carter Museum’s atrium.

Sedrick Huckaby
Sedrick Huckaby's large-scale paintings draw inspiration from his family history and his African-American roots. Born in Fort Worth, Texas, Huckaby received his BFA from Boston University in 1997 and his MFA from Yale University in 1999.
Huckaby has taught as a professor at Tarrant County College in Fort Worth and currently is a professor of water media at the University of Texas in Arlington. He has been honored as a Fellow at the Fine Arts Work Center in Provincetown, at the Skowhegan School of Painting and Sculpture, as a Kate Neal Kinley Memorial Fellow at the University of Illinois, and as a Brandeis Mortimer Hays Traveling Fellow, which gave him the opportunity to study the works of European masters abroad.
Huckaby’s own work has been included in exhibitions at the Studio Museum in Harlem and the Park Avenue Armory in Manhattan, at the African American Museum in Dallas, at the San Angelo Museum of Fine Arts in Texas, and at the Hammonds House Museum in Atlanta. His work A Love Supreme, comprising pieces forming an 80-foot long painting of quilts created by his grandmother, celebrates both jazz and quiltmaking as central elements of African-American culture. It serves as a foundation for his Guggenheim Fellowship project: to explore and paint the tradition of quiltmaking around the United States, and to add some of those paintings to A Love Supreme to more fully realize his intention in that installation.
Huckaby's work is included in the collections of the Museum of Fine Arts in Boston, the Whitney Museum of American Art in New York City, the African American Museum in Dallas, and the Kansas African American Museum in Wichita. He is the recipient of the Louis Comfort Tiffany Award and the Imagination Celebration Spirit of the Future Award, among others.

Corneille Guillaume Beverloo (1922-2010)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Born Cornelis Guillaume van Beverloo
3 July 1922
Liège, Belgium
Died 5 September 2010 (aged 88)
Auvers-sur-Oise, France
Movement COBRA
Corneille – Guillaume Cornelis van Beverloo (3 July 1922 – 5 September 2010), better known under his pseudonym Corneille, was a Dutch artist.
Corneille was born in Liège, Belgium, although his parents were Dutch and moved back to the Netherlands when he was 12. He studied art at the Academy of Art in Amsterdam, in the Netherlands. He was one of the founders of the REFLEX movement in 1948 and in 1949 he was also one of the founders of the COBRA movement, which has had great influence on Scandinavian art. He was active within the group from the beginning, not only painting but also publishing poetry in the Cobra magazine. He was a cofounder of the Experimentele Groep in Holland [nl]. Corneille was inspired by the drawings of children, and believed in the importance of approaching children with art that connects with their experience. When he heard during a Cobra Museum visit in the nineties that there was an “Art Lending for Children” he talked with the founder Roby Bellemans and asked him to send more information to his home in Paris about this project. He decided to promote the initiative. He started with a support list and persuaded other artists such as Shinkichi Tajiri...
