Did You Know?

Emma Amos includes a self-portrait and a portrait of her daughter India in this work.

Description

The Gift comprises forty-eight individual watercolor portraits of women artists, writers, and curators in Emma Amos’s community in New York in the early 1990s. The women pictured belong to different generations and are from a range of racial and ethnic backgrounds. Amos created the work as a gift for her daughter India, on the occasion of India’s twentieth birthday.
A vertically oriented watercolor and ink portrait depicts a woman with light skin from the chest up, her head turned toward our right. Rendered in loose washes and thin black outlines, she has short, gray-brown hair and dark eyes looking toward our right. She wears a blue garment and a long rectangular earring. Cursive text "Kathleen Caraccio" appears at the bottom. The paper has deckled edges and mounting tabs at the top.
