Jeffrey Wright

Jeffrey Wright Instagram – Thank you @time for the recognition. And thank you @octaviaspencer for the kind words – a lovely surprise. If I have pushed, it’s largely because I was pushed by others….toward artistry as a thing to take seriously, at least in the act of reaching for it. Some think art silly or indulgent or disposable or tertiary, at best. Maybe I do, too, sometimes. But I also think it’s where we can experience beauty and hope, if only momentarily. I hope the 100 on this list, whatever work they do, have influence enough to help swing us away from the disproportionate, cynical grotesqueness of our time and back toward a more graceful balance. We’ll see. | Posted on 18/Apr/2024 05:31:52
