â Emma Amos: Color Odyssey ,â on view June 19 through September 12 in the Museum of Art, Munson-Williams-Proctor Arts Institute. âEmma Amos: Color Odysseyâ is a major retrospective of the artistâs distinguished six-decade career. The exhibition features more than 60 artworks Amos created from 1958 to 2015. Though Amos is best known for her large-scale paintings incorporating African fabrics, she also embraced multiple types of materials, innovative printmaking techniques and photo-transfer, weaving, and collage. Her compositions reveal personal narratives about art, historical figures, and the representation of people of color, particularly women. Amos combined her interests in painting, printmaking, weaving, and collage into vibrant stories that present a layered understanding of what it meant to be a woman and artist of color during the era of Civil Rights and the feminist movements of the past 50 years.
