Cultural Canvases - James Dupree
In this episode, we speak with James Dupree, a distinguished American artist, educator, and activist. He has been honored with numerous fellowships and artist residencies across Pennsylvania, New York, Massachusetts, and Wales. His accolades include the prestigious Living Legend Award from the Black Alumni Society of the University of Pennsylvania. Notably, from 2012 to 2014, Dupree's studio in the Mantua neighborhood of West Philadelphia faced an eminent domain takeover attempt by the Philadelphia Redevelopment Authority (PRA), a battle which concluded with Dupree successfully retaining his studio.

Got a chance to rap with the good brother @floyd_strickland last week for the #CulturalCanvases #podcast and got some insight into his work which I’m a huge fan of. One thing that I love is that he includes his kids as subjects. I got to ask him about how that makes him feel and it was dope to hear how they influenced him to get back into creating. I’ve had the opportunity to curate his works i...

Being an entrepreneur you have to juggle all the goals on your career tree. Some are way more challenging and daunting than others. Some are layups, others are long shots from half court, but you must take them. This work by ...

    I love Varnette P. Honeywood’s art work, I have a signed copy of her work that sits in my bedroom called “Jesus loves me,” so spectacular. I look at it every morning when I rise. This was the first painting I ever purchased for myself. A birthday present to me. I bought the Little Bill children’s book just to get a look at her work. Thank you Bill Cosby I fell in love with Honeywood because of your show. You know I can see a bit of Varnette P.Honeywood’s work in artist Derrick Adams another great artist. Thank you , you bring honor and love to me and our community! Peace to you and your family!❤❤❤😊😊👏🏾🙌🏾👊🏾

    The opening photograph that you use as a thumbnail in color, and then B&W is my photograph, Rachel J. Bernstein, which was taken during an interview that my mother, Alice Bernstein, Civil Rights Historian, did with Inge Hardison when she was 99 in her apartment in Harlem. I would like to be given credit for it since it is my original photograph. I am happy to be a part of your compilation, but just request the appropriate credit given.

      Hi! Thank you Thank you for reaching out and verifying this for me. With the research on Black Artists sometimes the proper information is usually missing or misrepresented so I try to shy away from giving credit to the wrong person. I am more than happy to give proper credit and will do so. Could you please send me an email? info@artabovereality.com. Thanks!

    Special Thanks to Ezra Moore and ArtAboveReality for showcasing this subject. Chat GPT and AI have taken the creative world by storm. It needs to be talked about. If I were not a parent...I would not know about all this new technology. I am struggling to see real value in chat GPT. I can see its use in technical writings. I can also see it being used as a rough draft for a wonderful story.....that will need to be edited by a human. Sure...a real artist can use computers to draw...but come on....this massively produced ai generated art on youtube is sooooooo tired. It shows a lack of true creativity. This is coming from a painter....who uses paint...so I may be biased.

    I recently had a chance to view some of her paintings in Nashville, TN at one of their Local Museum’s. What caught my attention was a 1944 painting titled “Mob Victim”, has an awe inspiring affect within me, almost like I could relate or sense the feelings the artist was trying to convey. MS JONES did a wonderful job on this painting

    ''Black Artists in History''... Really ?! Artists are artists. They are neither Black, nor White, nor Equimos, Apaches or Nepalese. Artists who are defined themselfs above all by their skin color, ethnicity and religion are not real artists, but impostors. And those who define artists according to their racial affiliation are nothing more than opportunists, no better than those who applauded Nazism and Stalinism.
