Reverend Doctor Martin Luther King Jr - Dream
Portrait, 8.5 x 11 in.
Lead on Paper
The Reverend Doctor Martin Luther King Jr. is one of the most recognizable faces in American history. One of the major founding and guiding forces behind the Civil Rights movement in this country, and the first in our series of portraits spotlighting these amazing individuals. I toyed with doing a more complex piece where Dr King was addressing a crowd but the simplicity here is one of the greatest strengths in the end. It more accurately and appropriately portrays the sense of majesty he presented - there might have been a million people around but when he was speaking it felt like there was only one voice in the world.
When this series is completed I plan on donating them to the Carbondale African American Museum, but you can get a print today and celebrate the legacy of this amazing American!
