<h2 class="list__item__title">Clara, 8, Beirut, Lebanon</h2>
<div class="list__item__artist">Rania Matar (Lebanese, b. 1964)</div>
</div>
<div class="list__item__body">When Rania Matar started to photograph Clara, independently assumed the pose of an odalisque—a recumbent female figure used in Western art as an emblem of exoticism and female sensuality. This photograph is part of Matar’s series <em>L’Enfant-Femme</em> (2011–16). That French expression describes the fleeting preteen and early teen stage when a girl starts to become a woman.</div>

<h2 class="list__item__title">Max S. Hayes High School</h2>
<div class="list__item__artist">Lisa Kessler (American, b. 1962)</div>
</div>
<div class="list__item__body">Lisa Kessler was commissioned by The George Gund Foundation for their 2015 Annual Report to document progress inside the schools as a result of the implementation of Cleveland’s Plan for Transforming Schools, which had been in operation just under four years at that point. Kessler’s portraits and documentary images capture that transition, depicting students and teachers actively engaged in learning and creating.</div>

<div class="list__item__artist">Andrea Modica (American, b. 1960)</div>
</div>
<div class="list__item__body">In 1985 Zingale became one of the first women to join the Cleveland Fire Department. When this portrait was made in 2003, she was one of only seven uniformed women. By March 2017, the 750-person department was down to four uniformed women, all slated to retire over the next few years.</div>

</div>
<div class="list__item__body">In a grouping of twelve photographs, Lambri sensitizes us to the complexity and richness of texture and tactility designed into the museum’s north wing. Six of the images are close-ups of its iconic alternating light and dark gray stripes; the other six are close-ups of the joins of solid, monochromatic, medium gray blocks of stone.</div>

<div class="list__item__artist">Andrea Modica (American, b. 1960)</div>
</div>
<div class="list__item__body">One of a series of portraits of women who launched nontraditional careers with help from the Cleveland organization Hard Hatted Women, Armstrong, a mother of two, was an aspiring electrician when this portrait was made. She graduated from the organization’s pre-apprenticeship training program.</div>

<h2 class="list__item__title">Run</h2>
<div class="list__item__artist">Rashid Johnson (American, b. 1977)</div>
</div>
<div class="list__item__body">Contemporary artist Rashid Johnson draws on the traditions of painting and conceptual art to explore the lived experiences of African American men. This print belongs to a series that began as an exploration of the artist’s own anxieties but grew to express the experiences of young black men during a time marked by police violence and mass incarceration. In the artist’s words, “I . . . realiz[ed] that my anxiety was not mine exclusively.”</div>

<h2 class="list__item__title">Untitled #7</h2>
<div class="list__item__artist">Gohar Dashti (Iranian, b. 1980)</div>
</div>
<div class="list__item__body">Gohar Dashti’s <em>Stateless </em>series comprises eight metaphorical tableaux that evoke the purgatory experienced by refugees throughout the world today. “Hoping for a better life,” writes Dashti, “they struggle in a never-ending limbo. . . . The sky becomes the ceiling and the mountains become the walls of their new homes, because Nature is the only place that promises shelter, an eternal and everlasting refuge.”</div>

<h2 class="list__item__title">Plate Distortion III</h2>
<div class="list__item__artist">Tauba Auerbach (American, b. 1981)</div>
</div>
<div class="list__item__body">For over a decade, Tauba Auerbach has explored systems of representation and three-dimensional space in her prints. <em>Plate Distortion III</em> belongs to a series that she created by folding and bending a thin sheet of copper foil covered in grainy aquatint. The material was then affixed to a sturdier plate and printed, so that the effects of Auerbach’s manipulation became the image itself, referencing the history and experimental potential of printmaking materials and tools.</div>

<div class="list__item__header">
<h2 class="list__item__title">The Wanderer</h2>
<div class="list__item__artist">Dana Schutz (American, b. 1976)</div>
</div>
<div class="list__item__body">Brooklyn-based painter Dana Schutz is known for large-scale figurative painting, often drawing on narrative and humor. This print portfolio evokes Schutz’s signature subject matter, but translates it to the monochromatic palette of etching. Working with contemporary publisher Two Palms, Schutz created dense, painterly layers of grainy aquatint. Although the ten images suggest a vague story line, the artist left their meaning to the viewer to interpret.</div>

<h2 class="list__item__title">Making Starry Night</h2>
<div class="list__item__artist">Stella Ebner (American, b. 1975)</div>
</div>
<div class="list__item__body">Puzzle pieces picturing Van Gogh’s <em>The Starry Night </em>are scattered across the table while a man dressed in boxer shorts relaxes on his sofa, abandoning the activity of assembling the masterpiece. Ebner’s printed diptych playfully pokes fun at contemporary society’s commercial obsession with modern art by emphasizing the ubiquity of reproductions of <em>The Starry Night</em>, which appear on everyday objects like jigsaw puzzles.</div>

<h2 class="list__item__title">Las Meninas</h2>
<div class="list__item__artist">Simone Leigh (American, b. 1967)</div>
</div>
<div class="list__item__body"><em>Las Meninas</em> draws on traditions throughout global art and culture to address issues surrounding the female body, race, beauty, and community. The work’s skirted form conjures figures from the Spanish Golden Age painting <em>Las Meninas</em> (1656) by Diego Velazquez, apparel worn in the Afro-Brazilian religious tradition candomblé, and Mousgoum buildings in Cameroon. The white-glazed terracotta torso, alluding to sacred and secular traditions of body painting, leads to a faceless head, incorporating both figuration and abstraction.</div>

<h2 class="list__item__title">Intimacy of the Void</h2>
<div class="list__item__artist">Chitra Ganesh (American, b. 1975)</div>
</div>
<div class="list__item__body">Chitra Ganesh mines her experiences as the daughter of Indian immigrants and the influence of Bollywood design throughout her work in various media, much of which explores feminist and queer issues. This print belongs to a series that forms a vague narrative related to desire and loss, set in a world outside of history and time. Ganesh drew from <em>Amar Chitra Katha</em>, comics published beginning in the 1960s to introduce Indian children to their cultural heritage. Placing the viewer in an unfamiliar context, the artist uses bodies, space, and history to invite questions about sexuality and power.</div>

</div>
<div class="list__item__body">This print by Nicole Eisenman references the German Expressionist artist Erich Heckel’s 1919 woodcut <em>Portrait of a Man</em>. Eisenman reversed the direction of the original image but adapted the sideways glance and clasped hands seen in the elder artist’s print. In the upper right corner, she added a small moon, and printed the two sides of the image in black and white, suggesting that the figure is outside looking in.</div>

The work’s skirted form conjures figures from the Spanish Golden Age painting <em>Las Meninas</em> (1656) by Diego Velazquez, apparel worn in the Afro-Brazilian religious tradition candomblé, and Mousgoum buildings in Cameroon. The white-glazed terracotta torso, alluding to sacred and secular traditions of body painting, leads to a faceless head, incorporating both figuration and abstraction.</div>

The artist then builds the structure of her sculptures, using her extensive knowledge of the animals to achieve their lifelike postures. Butterfield accomplishes this effect through the placement of the necks and heads of her horses, which she does last. In <em>Horse,</em> the abstract animal is integrated with the surrounding landscape to evoke the artist’s expansive Montana ranch where she has lived, worked, and kept horses for over 30 years.</div>

These pricey garments were a fleeting, secular nineteenth-century fashion. Weavers created them for the elites of the Imerina Kingdom (c. 1540–1897), whose royals gave them as diplomatic gifts. In the 1990s, Lamba SARL Studio revived this weaving practice. Its artists create innovative display textiles drawn from extensive studies of historical examples. Using over twelve colors, the many motifs were woven by adding extra weft (horizontal) threads. Its title translates to "stunning with many patterns."</div>

<div class="list__item__artist">Mickalene Thomas (American, b. 1971)</div>
</div>
<div class="list__item__body">Mickalene Thomas uses collage to combine art historical and pop cultural references and question societal standards for Black femininity. Combining photography and printmaking, Thomas cultivates the aesthetic of publications such as <em>Jet </em>from the 1960s through 80s. This work features a woman who confidently adapts a pose from Impressionist painter Edouard Manet’s 1862 canvas <em>Luncheon on the Grass</em>. Each element of the collage was individually printed and hand assembled in a process that took over two years to complete.</div>

<div class="list__item__artist">Teresa Margolles (Mexican, b. 1963)</div>
</div>
<div class="list__item__body">To create <em>El Manto Negro</em>, Margolles collaborated with artisans in Mata Ortiz, Mexico, a region known for its ceramic work. The artisans produced thousands of square-shaped ceramic tiles, sourced from deposits at the base of Mata Ortiz’s mountainous zone. Each tile represents a victim of the drug wars that are now rampant in the region; as a grid, they speak to a collective history. <em>El Manto Negro</em> presents Mata Ortiz not only as a site that has fallen prey to violence, but also as a site of artistic productivity that prevails alongside hardship.</div>

<div class="list__item__artist">Amy Sherald (American, b. 1973)</div>
</div>
<div class="list__item__body">Amy Sherald is known for her distinctive style of portraiture that presents Black figures with grisaille (or gray) skin tones, inviting consideration of skin as a signifier. This print, the first made by the artist, reinterprets a painting of the same title. Both depict a dancer from the Alvin Ailey American Dance Theatre, founded in 1958 to combine modern dance and African American culture. The subject appears with a casual pose and assertive gaze that align with the artist’s goal, in her words, to “paint black people just being people.”</div>

</div>
<div class="list__item__body">Ethiopian-born contemporary artist Julie Mehretu draws from a wide range of source material, including maps, architectural renderings, found photography, and current events to create abstract images composed of gestural lines and forms. This print belongs to a series inspired by a trip to China’s Mogao Caves, each of which bear a title taken from Bardos—liminal states between life and death in Buddhism. Drawing from imagery such as calligraphy and ancient cave painting, the artist worked with a master printer to produce the etching in a large scale meant to create an absorptive experience for its viewer.</div>

<div class="list__item__body">This installation comprises supplies, tools, and debris from Sze’s home and studio. These ordinary materials challenge the perceived barrier between art and the everyday that we inhabit. The industrial ladder at the center of the sculptural composition is scaled to the viewer’s body, issuing a playful (though not literal) invitation to climb into the work of art.

A border patrol truck drags a row of tires behind it, a practice adopted by agents to detect footprints near the border and prosecute those who have attempted to cross into the United States. Garcia draws a parallel between this contemporary practice and the past by featuring a tableau of Mexicans tracked by Texas rangers more than a century earlier within the tires’ path. Flat areas of screenprinted color further blend the images into the landscape, and history to the present.</div>

Drawing on minimalism, an art movement that relied on such stylistic elements and was largely dominated by white male artists, Jones’s work invites the viewer to consider the social implications of the arts. Here, various shades of red and overlapping rectangles create a sense of movement and syncopation that defined this genre of music, which was developed by Black artists.</div>

For the color, she employed the “rainbow roll” technique, in which multiple colors are partially mixed to achieve a continuous gradient effect. The effect is one of dazzling color and pattern, while also creating spatial relationships that complicate the composition’s hard-edged geometry.</div>
