Glenn Ligon's *Malcolm X, Sun, Frederick Douglass, Boy with Bubbles #2* layers silkscreen ink and flashé paint on paper to create a richly textured work that weaves together iconic Black historical figures with more enigmatic, everyday imagery. The juxtaposition of Malcolm X and Frederick Douglass alongside a boy with bubbles and a sun suggests a meditation on Black identity, freedom, and the passage of time across generations. Ligon's signature use of repetition and obscured text-like imagery invites viewers to consider how history, representation, and childhood innocence coexist within the African American experience.
