 | Kadir Nelson is one of the most important illustrator that adresses the African American public, creating folk tales in contemporary settings and bringing famous historic figures to life, all through her beautiful drawings, many made for children books. |
The Akron Art Museum in Ohio is presenting a selection of works for children books, made by Kadir Nelson, compositions that are both rich and nostalgic, made by a sure and experienced hand, and at the same time are more than suitable for books meant to be read by children. The watcher can see not only the author's passion for the African American culture and heritage, but also her impressive sensitivity and talent.
