In this painting — titled “Behind the Myth of Benevolence” — a portrait of Thomas Jefferson is pulled back, almost like a curtain, to reveal a Black woman. Artist Titus Kaphar says the woman represents not only Sally Hemings — who was enslaved by the founding father and is believed to have bore his children — but also every other Black woman at Monticello and other plantations. It fits into Kaphar’s style of “altering” historical paintings: physically cutting out characters to emphasize their absence or covering them in white resin to bring forgotten Black characters to the fore. “I believe there is beauty in hearing the voices of people who haven't been heard,” he says. “There is something beautiful in truth-telling.” Visit the link in our bio to see more of his stunning work and watch his full TED Talk on how art opens us up to difficult conversations. @__nxthvn__⁠
