Works

Colescott was a painter who created satirical, cartoon-like figurative works addressing race, art history, and American culture through parody and subversion. His painting "George Washington Carver Crossing the Delaware" reimagines Emanuel Leutze's famous work. He represented the U.S. at the Venice Biennale and is held in major collections.
