It's a fine thing interrogates our relationship to warnings, causations, and the perception of trouble or being troubled. Looking specifically at the Black midwestern landscape, how does the pastoral quiet keep and lay alongside this trouble?  Within the everyday Black midwestern experience is an enmeshment of longing, humility, and deep imagination full of abandon.

Organized by the Birmingham Museum of Art, this exhibition celebrates a key figure in the history of Black American art, Hayward L. Oubre, Jr. (1916 – 2006). Through a broad range of dazzling works of art, the show explores the achievements of a luminary of American modernism. Hayward Oubre: Structural Integrity is the first monographic retrospective of Oubre’s artwork, and shares a previously unexamined history of American modernism rooted in the South through 52 sculptures, paintings, and prints.
