The artwork entitled “Malcom X, Morley, Matisse and Me” is a 1993 piece crafted by Emma Amos. The medium employed includes collage and tapestry, and it belongs to the Feminist Art and Fiber Art movements. The genre of this creation is figurative.
The artwork is a vivid tapestry that amalgamates a variety of elements in a cohesive yet dynamic composition. The central scene is dominated by a multifaceted tableau, featuring an array of colors and textures that typify Amos’ style. A black figure, seemingly in motion, occupies the lower middle area, while background scenes appear to blend landscape and portraiture. This eclectic mix of thematic content is framed by a border exhibiting a checkered and floral pattern, evoking an intricate and thoughtful use of textile materials. The artist’s name and the date “93” are subtly included within the composition, adding to the contextual depth of the piece.
