Titus Kaphar, Behind the Myth of Benevolence (2014) . . . . . . . . . . . . "As a visual artist practicing today, Titus Kaphar’s work comments on many of the socio-political issues... in the United States. His earliest works deal primarily with increasing representation of Black people in the Art Historical narrative of 17-19th century American paintings. Due to the devastating lack of historical documents about the lives of enslaved Africans, artists have had to imagine a life for these people through writing, painting, film, and other mediums. In his painting, Behind the Myth of Benevolence (2014), Kaphar imagines the life of Sally Hemmings, one of Thomas Jefferson’s slaves."
