Titus Kaphar

This weekend I read an article about Titus Kaphar an artist that resides in New Haven.  In the article he is described as an artist that is, "initiating a contemporary dialogue".   I would like you to discover how his artwork does just that.  Your goal is to look into the life and work of Titus Kaphar. Tell us something about his life and his art.  Choose a painting you find captivating and tell us about it.  I would like you to use the elements and principles of design in the description of his work.  In your sketchbook describe the painting you chose, including the size, media, and year it was painted.  Write why you chose this piece and if you know why it was painted by Kaphar.  We will begin the discussion on Wednesday April 27th.  Email me the image you chose so I can have it ready to view on Monday also print out a copy to keep in your sketchbook.
