# Dewey Crumpler: *Sonic Lineages*

Sep 30, 2026 – May 30, 2027 · on view · All 3 floors

Paintings from more than five decades and new kinetic works by the Bay Area painter and muralist.

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.
