“The Beautyful Ones Series #5” by Njideka Akunyili Crosby (Nigerian-American) - Acrylic, transfers, colored pencil, pastel, graphite, collage, and commemorative fabric on paper / 2016 - Buffalo AKG Art Museum (New York) #WomenInArt #artText #NjidekaAkunyiliCrosby #BuffaloAKG #WomensArt #WomenArtists
The sitter is Nigerian-American artist Njideka Akunyili Crosby’s mother, Dora N. Akunyili, pictured as a student during an early chapter in the life of a future public leader in Nigeria. Commemorative fabric made to honor her after death pulls the portrait into the present tense of grief. With a chalkboard pangram and a quick flicker of runners, learning becomes motion via repetition, discipline, and endurance. The image is a generational pledge that education can widen a girl’s horizon … and keep her hopes moving. She is a young Black girl sitting on a low step, her posture relaxed and self-possessed. She has deep brown skin, close-cropped dark hair, and a warm, steady smile. She wears a cobalt-blue sleeveless dress patterned with pale floral motifs, round light blue earrings, a thin yellow necklace, and gray-blue slide sandals. One hand rests lightly on her knee while the other drapes across her lap, giving her a quiet sense of ease. Behind her, a dark chalkboard fills most of the background. Faint chalk text repeats a pangram of “the quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog,” like a lesson still echoing after class. Along the right edge, vivid green-and-yellow commemorative fabric is collaged in a vertical band showing circular emblems with a printed portrait and words of tribute. The “step” beneath the young woman is built from layered photo-transfers with small, energetic images of runners at a finish flickering across the surface … so that education, family memory, and public life share the same setting. The blend of careful modeling with drawing and paint plus printed materials feels intimate, like a treasured photograph remade by hand. Crosby layers photo-transfers, Nigerian references, and precise drawing to show how a life is made from private memory and public history. This work belongs to her series “The Beautyful Ones” portraits of family, titled after Ghanaian author Ayi Kwei Armah’s 1968 “The Beautyful Ones Are Not Yet Born” novel.

What a pleasure to spend time at the AKG & remind myself of the world class museum in our backyard. From the masters to the contemporary,every Buffalo AKG Art Museum piece of art tells a story-the audio descriptions here even include some Bills-related anecdotes. #culturalBuffalotreasure #BuffaloAKG

Saw this in the mid-80s. It's lovely in person; not sure it's still on display. #futurism #museum #blueskydogs #buffaloakg

I was spellbound walking into the One with Eternity installation at #BuffaloAKG Art Gallery. You’re right, “Magical” is the perfect word to describe her Light Rooms.

It feels like flying." 🕊️

This Sunday at @BuffaloAKG, witness a powerful handoff of legacy. I spoke with Drea D’Nur and Sehrea N’Dayu about their Roberta Flack Requiem, musical healing, and the sound of survival.
Don't miss this "spirit-led" performance.
