Description
-
Rose Piper, an African-American artist, used her knowledge of art and geometry to explore the American South. Grievin’ Hearted, a cubist painting, illustrates the sentiments of African Americans in the South. A male figure sadly hangs his head in his arm as he sits among the shadows. The girl in the yellow dress symbolizes hope for the future.
