Critics Review
‘Stanley Whitney’s paintings and drawings exude an uncannily effortless equipoise and grace. […]The recent focus on Whitney’s art is part of a long overdue reexamination of the history of modernism during an era when communities of color were pushed to the margins if not overlooked altogether.
