Crumpler’s first major museum survey spans more than five decades, hanging paintings from different periods side by side with newly commissioned kinetic works. Shipping containers, hooded figures, voids and metallic surfaces recur as he explores Black consciousness, commerce, spirituality and time. Born in Arkansas in 1949, Crumpler began as a San Francisco muralist, studying under Pablo Esteban O’Higgins and David Alfaro Siqueiros, and later taught painting at the San Francisco Art Institute.

The three artists each have a different tie to Jamaica, and they use ornament and pattern on clay to deal with memory and colonial history. Anderson makes burnished, smoke-fired forms. Bishop adds collage to porcelain plates. Norwood’s sculptures repeat a curly line. MoAD organized the show with the Black Artists’ Network in Dialogue and the Gardiner Museum, both in Toronto.

Reid grew up in Berkeley. She is the daughter of the historian Betty Reid Soskin, and her family ran Reid’s Records. Her family and its links to the Black Panthers come up throughout the work.
