Untitled (Museum Tour), ca. 1960
Oil on thin board, 15 x 20 in.
Whatever it is I do or do not do in the paintings I paint really are attempts by me to communicate
to ‘the folks.’ While I could write yards on who ‘the folks’ are, just let it suffice to say for this time,
they are ‘us.’ The next question is automatically, who are ‘us?’ The answer to that automatic
question at this moment is, ‘us’ are ‘the folks,’ and I am one of them.
—Benny Andrews
