☞ SEE: All Me at Maysles Cinema

Wednesday, July 11th, 7:30pm,  All Me: The Life and Times of Winfred Rembert at Maysles Cinema, 343 Lenox Avenue and 127th Street.  Back by popular demand!  With his intensely autobiographical paintings depicting the day-to-day existence of African Americans in the segregated South, Winfred Rembert has preserved an important, if often disturbing, chapter of American history. His indelible images of toiling in the cotton fields, singing in church, dancing in juke joints, or working on a chain gang are especially powerful, not just because he lived every moment, but because he experienced so much of the injustice and bigotry they show as recently as the 1960s and 70s.

Now in his sixties, Rembert has developed a growing following among collectors and connoisseurs, and enjoyed a number of tributes and exhibitions of his work. In ALL ME: The Life and Times of Winfred Rembert, the artist relives his turbulent life, abundantly visualized by his extensive paintings and, in a series of intimate reminiscences, shows us how even the most painful memories can be transformed into something meaningful and beautiful. A glowing portrait of how an artist and his art is made, ALL ME is also a triumphant saga of race in contemporary America. More details and tickets may be purchase at the Maysles Cinema site: LINK
