John J. Curley’s talk will address notions of the transatlantic in Black American art of the late 1950s and 1960s. First, Curley will explore Hale Woodruff's Africa and the Bull (c. 1958) as an Abstract Expressionist painting that counters typical narratives of the centrality of European-American artistic exchange through introducing references to Africa, cultural theft, and the slave trade. Secondly, Mildred Thompson and the prints and sculptures she makes during her self-imposed exile in West Germany (1958-60 and 1964-74) will be considered as emblematic of a "counterfactual modernism" -- a practice of forging alternative artistic genealogies that foreground mobility, diaspora and barbarity.
