Pearl
No full textThis artwork was photographed and cataloged by Echo O'Connor (class of 2025) during the fall of 2024.This painting is by Erin Moore, class of 2026, as an assignment for self-portrait. Her artist statement reads: "My art focuses on bringing attention to things that often get overlooked, forgotten, or ignored, especially those that prompt self-reflection. In this painting, I bring attention to the question: 'Is my Black truly beautiful?' This is a question that every Black girl asks herself when growing up, but few say out loud. Therefore, making it a part of Black life that often goes unseen.
Growing up, Black girls often hear praise for their Afrocentric features, like their hair, but they also see their mother straightening hers every weekend. People compliment their dark skin, yet none of the love interests in their favorite shows look like them. They hear love and praise, but they see something completely different. This leaves many Black girls wondering if their Black is truly beautiful or if it’s just something people say to make them feel better about themselves.

Two distinct horizontal yellow lines cross the figure's body"one across his torso and the other, longer line, just above his hips. These perhaps represent an object or window that the figure protrudes from. Surrounding the figure, brown and green foliage frames the scene, evoking a natural, almost meditative atmosphere. The painting is signed"T.W." in green paint in the bottom right corner. On the back, a handwritten note in French reads,"" Robert / Un souvenir de la [illegible] / de / Tennessee," which translates to"to Robert / A souvenir of the [illegible] / of / Tennessee," hinting at a personal dedication

This painting was acquired by Rhodes College from Kenneth Holditch (1933-2022) during the summer of 2024.

To the right, the male figure stands with his back to the viewer, hands on his hips, gazing toward the deep red sun sinking into the horizon, adding to the melancholic atmosphere. The ocean stretches out behind them, bathed in the warm glow of the fading light. The French title, "La Tristesse Amoureuse" (The Sad Lover), appears in the bottom right corner, where Williams also signed the piece as "T.W." On the reverse, the signature "Tennessee Williams / 1978" is marked in the top left corner. A tag from"Dawson & Nye" auction house is attached to the hanging wire, which reads"Lot #448 / January
