About The Work
Mickalene THOMAS' most frequent subject is Women of Color. They face the viewer confidently, with heroic authority and natural beauty. These are figures unafraid to express desire and assert their power , proudly taking up space.
This triptych presents a portrait of a proud heroine, clad in opulent fabric and adorned with glamorous hair and makeup. To emphasize the importance of her appearance, she is holding a hand mirror in a relaxed grip, even though her eyes remain turned towards the audience.
