Maxwell Taylor (Nassau, 1938)
Lord, Am Tired, Woodcut, 1996

"A founding member of the B-Cause group (Nassau, 1991), Taylor is one of the key figures in the development of art in the Bahamas during the last 30 years. He helped his fellow artists to break away from what was long considered "the picture postcard genre." Taylor became acquainted with printmaking in New York during short stays at the Pratt Institute and the Art Student League. This particular work deals with the issue of racial oppression and exclusion, a legacy of slavery."
