WITH LIKE COLORS
A central element of painter James Rieck's series, titled "Color Safe," lies in his juxtaposition of images from catalogs featuring black and white models from an era when such representations were not only restricted but often illegal. Although the women appear blissful in the photographs, the titles Rieck selected—referencing laundry care—intensify the racial tensions of both the past and the present. This poignant contrast underscores the ongoing relevance of these issues.
