The artwork titled “Br’er” created by Kara Walker in 1996 is part of the Feminist Art movement and falls under the genre of figurative art.
The artwork features two humanoid figures rendered in an expressive, monochromatic palette. The central figure is depicted with an exaggerated, voluminous form, incorporating multiple rounded elements that evoke a sense of burden or multiplicity. This figure appears to be interacting with a smaller figure, which is characterized by a more diminutive and dynamic pose. The brush strokes are vigorous, and the composition conveys a narrative tension, encapsulating the complexities and nuances typical of Kara Walker’s oeuvre.
