Reader Benny Andrews Reviewed When I first sat down to write an article on the exhibition of paintings and drawings by Benny Andrews (Gallery/Lounge Oct. 13-31) I was sure that what I needed was something altogether profound. This way, not only would my professors think me a brilliant student, but women would begin to respect me for my brain instead of my body. I was convinced that all I needed was something really “heavy” to become an instant success. But a funny thing happened as I slipped the first sheet of paper into the old Smith-Corona; I realized that what made Mr. Andrews’ Bicentennial Series interesting was not the paintings themselves, but the man. Oh, I suppose I could have come up with a couple of ditties like, Andrews large mural (not in this exhibition) as we read it from left to right, goes from a naturalistic to symbolic style.” Or, “Andrews’ use of negative space shows his concern with placing his characters into the paintings rather than onto the canvas.” But I think we had better not go into that. I had the good fortune to sit down with Mr. Andrews during his brief visit here and, over orange juice and chocolate chip cookies, discussed his involvement in programs to promote black art. Among his many achievements are a prison art program, a child abuse center and work with senior citizens. When the subject turned to the metier behind the Bicentennial Series he explained the concept stemmed from a realization that the big pfans for the American Bicentennial were not going to cover much in the area of black art. “I decided to do a major work each year, about my feelings of this place, America~to at least ensure that somewhere, the Black artist was going to be working on a point of view that didn’t necessarily coincide with all the repetitious ‘crossing the Delaware’ stuff.” What else can one really say about the man? He is wise, attentive, interesting and very much like anyone you would meet somewhere on down the line. For those of you who might be interested in seeing the final group of paintings in his Bicentennial Series, Utopia will go on exhibit November 13th at the Boston Museum of Fine Arts.
