      Lucille (Elizabeth Davis) Malkia Roberts, 1927-2010, Market Sun

      Est: $6,000 - $8,000

      Lucille (Elizabeth Davis) Malkia Roberts 1927-2010 Market Sun 1980 oil on canvas 30 x 40 inches signed signed, titled, and dated on stretcher “As a black artist and a black teacher, I have been gripped by the threads of an elemental and pervasive spirituality in the art of the so-called “Third World”. As a black woman, I feel strongly about my painting as a thread in that tapestry. I see it as an instrument of nourishment and strength for black people. Not political propaganda, not “anti-art”, but a source of positive imagery to negate subtle distorted stereotypes of the past, and to undergird our growing sense of identity, pride and direction.” M.R. (Source: Galerie Myrtis) Roberts was born in Washington, D.C. She earned her B.A. at Howard and her M.F.A. at the University of Michigan. She also studied with Hale Woodruff, and that influence is very evident in this work. She taught alongside Alma Thomas at the Shaw Junior High School for 40 years.
