Gwen shares a link to this provocative art work…

I thought this artist’s work might be relevant to some of the things we’ve been talking about in class or at least interesting to some of the students.  The artist is Hank Willis Thomas, and he’s taken classic ads featuring African Americans and removed all context clues like advertising copy or brand logos, so in the end it’s just this really interesting exploration of the black male body.
