Julius Lester left us a rich legacy with his artwork prints. The Floyd Gallery is honored to represent Julius' artwork.
"We are grateful for Robert Floyd's ongoing support of my father's work. The photographs on view are among the last images my father printed himself and reflect his meticulous expression of a unique time and place that would otherwise have no visual record. I was rereading some of the personal essays my father wrote about his photographs of the Black South and was struck by this note from him from 2016. He asked, "What do we see when we see, especially when we look at someone we do not know? What are the cataracts that have ripened in our minds that prevent us from experiencing awe in the presence of the mystery of another?" Indeed, Julius' photographs illuminate these mysteries and offer us an elusive opportunity for awe."
