How can somebody call this woman ugly?

She is not just talented but pretty. She is not like the regular kardashian-fake you guys are used to with all the pancakes and surgeries.

She is African. She is beautiful. She is one of us and very real.

Congratulations Njideka.

Wein Prize Is Awarded to a Nigerian-born Artist


By RANDY KENNEDY

OCTOBER 26, 2015

The Studio Museum in Harlem announced Monday that it was bestowing its Wein Prize – a $50,000 award won in the past by esteemed artists like Lorna Simpson, Glenn Ligon and Trenton Doyle Hancock – to Njideka Akunyili Crosby, a Nigerian-born painter who has lived and worked in the United States for many years.

The prize – established by George Wein, a founder of the Newport Jazz Festival, in honor of his wife, Joyce Alexander Wein, a trustee of the museum who died in 2005 – has been given every year since 2006 to established or emerging African-American artists.

Ms. Crosby, 32, who recently moved to Los Angeles, has become known for large-scale paintings that depict African and American domestic scenes. The scenes are visually complicated with collage elements drawn from Nigerian lifestyle magazines, her own photo albums and the Internet, works that, as Smithsonian Magazinewrote, “explore a complex topic – the tug she feels between her adopted home in America and her native country.”

Ms. Crosby’s work has recently been featured in a solo show at the Hammer Museum in Los Angeles and was included in the New Museum’s 2015 Triennial. The prestigious Victoria Miro gallery in London began to represent Ms. Crosby earlier this year, and her work is now the subject of an exhibition at the gallery, organized by the critic Hilton Als.

Thelma Golden, the Studio Museum’s director, said Ms. Crosby was chosen because of her work’s “great innovation and promise” and also because she “truly represents the global nature of the Studio Museum’s mission and reach.”

If you had actually read and understood the book, you wouldn't use that as a reference.

And my last post was in reference to tsdarkside and not Ms Akunyili.
