Kara Walker is an artist who has quickly become one of the most important voices of her generation.
Known for her black paper cut silhouettes, Kara Walker is an artist who has quickly become one of the most important voices of her generation. Her images depict civil war era scenes filled with visual stereotypes, sex, violence, and disquieting power relationships.
Constructing anti-racist parodies, Walker figures within a group of African-American artists whose work addresses racial identity in a confrontational way.
