All Gods Chilluns got Shoes

Color Serigraph
13” x 16 ½”
This presents an opportunity to compare this beautiful color serigraph to the color lithograph featured above. Few artists worked on similar themes in as many different mediums as Ruth Starr Rose and for her this was a part of exploring with different types of artistic techniques to drill down to the serious task of trying to portray the spirituality of an oftentimes overlooked group of people whom she counted as her closest friends. In this visual exercise of contrasting the detail of a color lithograph to a color serigraph, it is possible to discern the more lyrical qualities of a serigraph because the colors overlap and the lines less defined thereby allowing for greater interpretation on the part of the viewer.
