Angel Heart by Cal Massey
OUT OF STOCK
Angel Heart – Color
by Cal Massey
Open Edition
Size 20″ x 24″
About the Artist:
MOORESTOWN-Cal Massey said that the wonderful images that appear on his canvases come to him during his daily meditations. He jots them on notecards and stores them in a filing cabinet that stands near the easel in his studio. “Everything in my work is spiritual,” the 80-year-old artist said. Entering the artist’s home/gallery studio on Dawson Street is almost a spiritual experience in itself. Messiah, a rendition of a black Christ as one with the earth, standing between the galaxies and the oceans, is the first painting a visitor notices. Near it hangs “Angel Heart”, which Massey considers one of his most popular works, inspired in part by the lack of black angels in traditional artwork. The angel’s hair, styled in a full Afro, is a tribute to the natural beauty of the black woman, Massey said. For years, Massey’s work has represented the black community in the art world. Now the artist, whose work already hangs on the walls of Congress members and rock stars, will see his work hang from the necks of Olympians. Massey was one of 13 artists from around the world chosen to design a commemorative medal for the 1996 ,Summer Olympics in Atlanta. His design, The High Jump, depicts a young black woman – her back arched slightly, her knees bent – as her thighs begin to top the bar. He said his is the only medal that features an athlete of color. “I’m proud to be a role model,” Massey said. The High Jump will be cast in sterling silver and run two inches in diameter. The medals will go on sale in late March or early April, and remain available until after the Games end.

Size 22″ x 30″
JOSEPH HOLSTON, born in 1944, is a nationally recognized artist who works from his studio in Takoma Park, Maryland. Formally trained in commercial art, he left that field in 1972, to devote full-time to studying, developing and refining his skills as a painter and printmaker. His first solo museum exhibition in 1976, at the Butler Institute of American Art in Youngstown, Ohio, received excellent critical reviews.
Holston has produced a wide-ranging body of work that is included in permanent collections in public and private museums, universities and other institutions. Among these institutions are the Smithsonian American Art Museum, Baltimore Museum of Art; the Library of Congress Fine Print Collection; the Yale University Art Gallery; the Georgia Museum of Art, the Butler Institute of American Art; the U. S. Federal Reserve Fine Art Collection; the Museum of Art at the Rhode Island School of Design; the Amarillo Museum of Art, Texas; the Schomburg Center for Research in Black Culture, New York; the University of Maryland University College; the David C. Driskell Center at the University of Maryland; the Lyndon B. Johnson Library at the University of Texas; and Howard University. Holston’s work has been exhibited in many of these same museums and venues.
His visual narrative “Color in Freedom: Journey along the Underground Railroad,” consisting of 50 paintings, etchings and drawings, has been on tour since 2008. It was presented in 2010 at the United Nations Mission in Geneva, Switzerland, under the sponsorship of the U. S. Mission to the United Nations in Geneva. The eighteen etchings from “Color in Freedom” are included in the collection of the Library of Congress. Holston recently completed the painting “Letter from Birmingham Jail,” to commemorate the dedication of the Martin Luther King National Memorial in Washington, D.C. The screen print created from this painting has been added to the permanent collections of the Library of Congress and the Federal Reserve Board. Holston has created special commissions for several organizations, including the AFL-CIO, the National Medical Association, and North Carolina A & T State University.
Holston is one of the artists included in the traveling exhibition “African American Art since 1950,” organized by the David C. Driskell Center for the Study of the Visual Art and Culture of African Americans and the African Diaspora, at the University of Maryland.
