American Negro History (orange)

2006

Adam Pendleton's *American Negro History (orange)* is a striking silkscreen on canvas that layers fragmented text and bold graphic elements to interrogate histories of race, identity, and resistance in America. The work's vivid orange palette charges the piece with urgency, while Pendleton's signature use of overlapping language and abstraction challenges viewers to confront the complexities of Black experience and collective memory.
