Glenn Ligon’s ‘Warm Broad Glow II,’ 2011, is now on view at the Glenstone Museum in Potomac. The work references a passage from Gertrude Stein’s 1909 book ‘Three Lives,’ wherein the writer describes ‘the wide, abandoned laughter that makes the warm broad glow of negro sunshine.’ Ligon has said of the series, ’Everyone understands the literal meanings of the words “negro sunshine” but what do they mean in the artwork? I am interested in that ambiguity.… I am interested in how race, politics, identity, sexuality, history, and other things interact. In particular, I am interested in how the past intrudes into the present.’ Photos: Paul Tukey glennligon glenstonemuseum #GlennLigon #Glenstone #WarmBroadGlow #NegroSunshine
