I spent the afternoon at SFMOMA, and I saw lots of impressive and dramatic art, not least Amy Sherald's portraits of Michelle Obama and Breonna Taylor
But somehow, this one modest photograph of the artist March Avery by Consuelo Kanaga reeled me in more than anything else I saw there
The power of subtlety! Amy Sherald's bombshell portraits are all well and good, but March Avery's humble photo is like the introverted cool girl of the art world - it's only when you look closer that you realize just how amazing she is. Like, who needs drama when you can have nuance?
