THE BLACK BAROQUE PROJECT

Visiting Artist Interviews: Harmonia Rosales

A Black Baroque conversation between Los Angeles based artist Harmonia Rosales and art historian Sophia Q. McCabe. The two discuss how Rosales's work engages with and subverts Baroque art to tell new stories of belonging through her reimaginations of 17th-century paintings that visualize the stories of the orishas, the survival of the Yoruba religion through the African diaspora, and Black female beauty and Black empowerment.

MODERNIZING MARY: CONTEMPORARY ARTISTS REINTERPRET AN ICON

The depiction of the Virgin Mary in visual art is a tradition stretching back almost 2,000 years. Her popularity over the centuries is well represented by many artworks in the Getty Museum, but Mary also continues to inspire contemporary artists. In this conversation, participants draw out the enduring appeal of this figure who serves as both an icon of compassionate devotion and cultural celebration, or an emblem of religious tradition and oppression to critique. Exploring why contemporary artists remain attracted to the many symbolisms of the Virgin Mary helps us understand how a visual theme that originated in the Middle Ages still has resonance today.
