On the shoe polish series...During his path as an artist, many of Frank Frazier's works have been interpretations of and responses to the Civil Rights movement. Mr. Frazier feels it's important that the visual arts serve as a vehicle to preserve the struggle for our children, ourselves and the future. Artistic expression is Frazier's contribution to the remembrance of the strength and tenacity of the race. Works like The Little Rock Nine, The Sit In, and T he Million Man March are all a part of his latest series which is done with shoe polish and a mixture of ink.
In the 30s and 40s, shoe polish was used to create blackface, a form of theatrical makeup used in minstrel shows, and later vaudeville, in which performers create a stereotyped caricature of a black person. Frank has appropriated shoe polish in this new series as a away of reclaiming and empowering the African American image. A Change Is Gonna Come!View more works from Frazier's shoe polish series HERE
