Tradition and Conflict: Images of a Turbulent Decade, 1963–1973 at the Studio Museum in Harlem

The Studio Museum in Harlem

1985

Tradition and Conflict was a major traveling exhibition of 150 works by fifty-five Black artists that was organized by The Studio Museum in Harlem. Critic Michael Brenson wrote in The New York Times that “the exhibition defines the effect of that period on black artists and argues for the importance of black art that was inspired or given direction by the civil rights struggle.”
