In retrospect: Nick Cave



Guest contributor / Two Coats Intern Betty Lou Starnes / In his current exhibition "Made for Whites by Whites" at Jack Shainman Gallery, Nick Cave applies his keen eye for color to items some might rather have erased from the United States' tainted racial history. By parodying objects and images that have traditionally caricatured blacks in the service of white racism, Cave subverts traditional racist iconography so as to empower its original targets--namely, African-Americans.
