The first impression about the exhibit was amazing. There
has Holum, Caliente and Paris Blues. His most paintings described the club life
and people celebrate together, dancing, drinking and talking. In fact, I prefer Archibald
Motley’s works, and I only remember his
works. About Paris Blues, Archibald Motley
spent 1929-30 in Paris, France on a Guggenheim Fellowship. Also, Motley was not the only African
American in jazz age Paris; indeed by fellow visual artists, entertainers,
intellectuals, and other of African ancestry.
