Ekphrastic April, Day 29: "[Black and white, an informal portrait of a young Negro woman surrounded by laundry in Newport, R.I.]"


 

"[Black and white, an informal portrait of a young Negro woman surrounded by laundry in Newport, R.I.]" (1903) by Gertrude Käsebier [1852-1934].

 

an artist has the freedom
to play with perspective
to show things in new ways

we notice, then wonder
what else we've missed...

...let's go play!
