One of the founders of the Studio Museum in Harlem, Betty Blayton-Taylor was an important arts leader with a devotion to activism and the Harlem community. Untitled, created the year the Museum was established, features collage elements that blend with jostling quasi-organic forms of magenta, pink, green, and tan. Blayton-Taylor often turned to abstract patterns and warm color palettes to communicate dynamism, tumult, and the struggle to find balance in a world characterized by racial inequality.
