Ulysses Marshalls paintings draw on hismemories of childhood in Georgia. Marshallspent years living with his grandmother, whowas both a quiltmaker and storyteller. Herstorytales come to life in his art. In a pictorialstyle sometimes reminiscent of RomareBeardens works, Marshall pays tribute to the

sharecroppers, bluesmen, rural families, andancestral figures that form the continuum ofAfrican American experience. Usingexpressive colors charged with wrenchingemotion, the Maryland-based artist visualizes aworld that is seasoned with loss, but ripe withpromise.

does not think of the lasting effects of itsactions, and to see memories preserved afterdecades of recovery is a poignant reminder.These paintings are imbued with the ghostlytraces of past and current transformations inthe urban landscape.
