    Cynthia Veloric, independent art historian and researcher on American Art for the Philadelphia Museum of Art, gives a focused lecture on the early life of Barkley Hendricks, including his family, friends, neighbors, military experience and his training here at PAFA. Veloric wrote Hendricks’ biography for the Oxford African American National Biography and has known the artist m ever since, and believes that “There is another context for Hendrick’s work which lies at its core. It is deeper, yet simpler, than the socio-political context in which the paintings are usually read.”
