In this print, artist and art historian Richard J. Powell brings artistic modernism and celebrity culture together in a reconfiguration of traditional portraiture. The two profiles evoke the art forms of the early twentieth century, drawing on the modernists’ fascination with African art, particularly Fang reliquary heads and masks from the Baule, Guro, and Dan peoples. In the angular severity of the figure’s upright, closely cropped hair, the unmistakable image of Grace Jones—American model, singer, and celebrity—emerges. Through this convergence, Powell choreographs a dynamic mode of signification that simultaneously questions and celebrates the visual histories that shape African American cultural expression and its relationship to the discipline of art history.
