Joe Overstreet “The New Jemima” 1964. In 1964, Joe Overstreet read an article about the 1893 Chicago World’s Fair, where former slave Nancy Green gave baking demonstrations in character to promote the Aunt Jemima brand. Overstreet thought of her having to make a million pancakes and decided she should be using a machine gun.
He made a small painting of her at that time. In 1970, Larry Rivers organized the exhibition “Some American History,” in Houston, Texas. The show was commissioned by the de Menil family, to animate aspects of race within American history. Rivers saw Overstreet’s original 1964 painting and suggested he enlarge the image. Overstreet turned the painting into a 3-D construction of a pancake box.
Overstreet has said of this project, “This is something in my history that I love. I had done something. I had made a change. This is all we live for in this world: to make a change, so we can all enjoy it.” #ericfirestonegallery proudly represents the estate of #JoeOverstreet @ East Hampton, New York

Varnette Honeywood (1950-2010) found inspiration in direct representation of Black family life in Los Angeles, where she lived. Honeywood presented a view of Black culture that can be described as a radical normalizing, celebrating the life of her community in neighborhoods often
pathologized by the media. Her work utilizes simplified forms, emphasizing the silhouette or black profile. She is recognized by contemporary artists today for her significant contribution, helping to envision and shape Black visual culture. #VarnetteHoneywood “Family Time” collage on board | 40 x 30”

Shirley Gorelick (1924-2000) became involved, in the 1960s and 70s, with representations of the body, at a time when this was out of fashion. A frequent subject and muse of Gorelick’s was Libby Dickerson, a middle-aged African-American woman in a mixed-race marriage, and a mother of two. Gorelick made several paintings of Libby nude. This, itself, was a radical, political gesture, as an atypical subject for painting of this kind.
Pictured is “Double Libby II” 1971-72 acrylic on canvas @friezeartfair #FriezeNY #FriezeVR #shirleygorelick #ericfirestonegallery #easthampton

Frieze NY | Online Viewing Rooms opens today to the public. Visit our room at Frieze.com.
Several of the works pictured here by Joe Overstreet (1933-2019) were exhibited in the 1969 Brooklyn Museum show “New Black Artists”. In this period Overstreet began breaking away from the rectangle of the stretcher and from the narrative of western art history. He used wooden dowels shaped with a jigsaw and hand tools to make complex, shaped stretchers, painting in patterns drawn from Aztec, Benin, and Egyptian cultures.

Installation view in #EastHampton of
#JayMider 1963 “Subway Runner” series. In the early 1960s Milder turned to the denizens of New York subways and allegories of modern urban life. We see people with huge heads reading or hanging on. Sometimes their heads fill the entire picture space. These anti-illusionist pictures are awkward, almost childishly cartooned. Recalling graffiti, they are “bad paintings“ done long before the term became chic. These paintings were exhibited in a very successful show at #MarthaJacksonGallery in 1964!
